Christopher Shea: Indie Film Fixer, Storytelling Lifeline, and Austin's Creative Engine
Update: 2025-06-02
Description
Filmmaker and creative producer Christopher Shea steps In the Room to reflect on the twists, pivots, and passion projects that have defined his multi-decade career in indie film, TV, and theater. From directing Berlin-premiering shorts to fixing chaotic sets, Shea unpacks what it really takes to survive—and thrive—in the creative trenches.
We talk about:
The realities of being a fixer in indie production
The Austin days of DIY theater and sketch collectives
Working with today’s rising stars before they broke out
The emotional and logistical cost of being an AD
Why story—not stardom—sells abroad
This is a raw and energizing conversation about creativity, commitment, and the community that makes it all possible.
