Christine Crokos was born and raised in Brooklyn to Greek immigrant parents. Her mom was diagnosed with cancer at a very young age, shifting Christine's lens on women as the true heroes and warriors of the world. Her mother's 27 year cancer battle has played a big part of the inspiration and influence of Christine's love of strong female characters. Christine went on to graduate from USC Cinema School where she directed several short films. Most of them screening in some of the top film festivals in the US. Today she is an award winning writer/director. Her film PIMP, starring Keke Palmer and Oscar nominated Aujunue Ellis, and Executive Produced by Lee Daniels, went on to win best picture and audience awards at HBO's Urbanworld festival. Christine is preparing for her next feature, a biopic on World Cup winning goalkeeper, Hope Solo.
