When Christopher formed Adventure Pictures in 1988, his intention was to produce distinctive, high quality feature films in addition to the documentary films which he has been making since 1985. His aim is to break new ground wherever possible, and The Tango Lesson bears witness to this, combining dance, music and film through the interpretation and direction of a single artist. Christopher began producing and directing documentary films after a successful career in publishing, first as a journalist, then managing editor of an international magazine. His first film, Man-Made Famine, presented by Glenda Jackson, won many awards. He has made over twenty documentary films (including Death Of A Runway (1992) and Child's Eye (1995), both nominated for Royal Television Society awards).
