Since then, she continued to produce some of the most acclaimed American
independent films through her label Killer Films.
Far From Heaven (nominated for four Academy Awards), Boy's Don't Cry
(Academy Award winner), I Shot Andy Warhol, One Hour Photo, Hedwig and the
Angry Inch, Happiness, Velvet Goldmine, SAFE, Go Fish and Swoon are all films
that each on its own created controversy as well as success.

received both Academy Award and SAG Award nominations for Best Supporting
Actress and “Gigantic” by Matt Aselton which premiered at Toronto.
Christine's new book, "A KILLER LIFE: HOW AN INDEPENDENT FILM PRODUCER SURVIVES DEAL AND DISASTERS IN HOLLYWOOD AND BEYOND" was published in September 2006 by Simon and Schuster. Her first book, "SHOOTING TO KILL" was published in the fall of 1998 by Avon, and was a Los Angeles Times bestseller.
