While working on Touch the Wall Christo developed system of independent production and distribution that involved crowdfunding, on-demand theatrical distribution, and direct audience interaction.  A story about Olympic swimmers Missy Franklin and Kara Lynn Joyce, Touch the Wall had more than 500 screenings nationwide with an 80% sell-out rate.  The film went on to screen on Oprah’s Winfrey’s OWN network and is available on iTunes, Amazon, and Netflix.

The upcoming craft beer film Brewmance employs much of the same thinking Christo developed for Touch the Wall.  Brewmance follows three sets of accomplished home brewers who are looking to open their own breweries in the port town of Long Beach, California.  The film is scheduled to debut in 2018.
