Christian McIntire

Christian McIntire started a long career in film in 1980 as an actor, but found his place behind the camera and has been working there since 1996 in various capacities, including as an editor, writer, visual effects artist, director and producer. During his time working for Unified Film Organization, he supervised all aspects of production and post production, and held the positions of staff editor, post production supervisor, and eventually head of production. During his tenure there, he edited a dozen films, directed second unit on numerous films, produced three films, wrote four films, and directed five feature films, including the NAACP Image Award nominated Phantom Force. Visual effects were a side interest that grew out of the effects-intensive films he was involved with, and Mr. McIntire began to learn the latest techniques involved in computer graphics imaging. This led to his doing effects shots on his own films at first, and eventually supervising a large effects sequence for the Warner Brothers Peter Hyams film, A Sound of Thunder, and eventually to forming his own company, Clockwork Planet, providing visual effects for several films, including those he produced for SyFy Channel, including the popular Warbirds. Since 2010, he has been working with Rogue State to provide his production and post-production expertise on over two dozen projects, while also developing his own projects for various cable outlets, including SyFy, Comedy Central, and Adult Swim.
