Chris Tobin

Chris Tobin is a writer/producer from Northborough, MA. Tobin is best known for writing and co-producing the feature film Gutterbug (2019). Filmed in Allston, MA, Gutterbug premiered in 2019 at the Independent Film Festival Boston, and has screened at festivals across the country, winning the Grand Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature at Dances With Films in Los Angeles and Woods Hole Film Festival in Massachusetts. Tobin is passionate about writing gritty and dramatic screenplays that reveal the underbelly of society, portraying social issues that the common person would rather not address directly. He illustrates the human experiences of those typically viewed as subhuman and contaminated, such as a homeless crust punk, or a teenage prostitute, as in his second developed screenplay Jodye (pre-production). His undergraduate degree in sociology and master's degree in special education provide a unique lens in which Tobin views the world. In addition to his passion for writing and producing full-length dramas, Tobin is the creative mind and writer behind a number of short films, often crossing genres into dark comedy.
