Crew

Chris Diani (Director / Co-writer / Co-producer)
Chris got his start in the entertainment business as a child actor, performing in musical theatre and student films in his native state of Massachusetts from the age of 10. Moving to Seattle in 1993, he switched to behind-the-scenes work, stage-managing and directing at various fringe theatres, including AHA! Theatre, City 3, and Open Circle Theater. He joined the staff of web radio pioneer Stellar Networks in 1999, where he served as Executive Producer and on-air talent at GAYBC, their wildly popular queer channel. In 2003 Chris graduated from Seattle Film Institute's Total Immersion Filmmaking Program and was immediately tapped to write and direct the I Scream Pride series, a quartet of short films promoting the Seattle Pride Festival. In 2005 Chris' short western, Bob Hope's Miracle Cure For Incarceration, was featured in the inaugural Seattle True Independent Film Festival (STIFF), and his production of that film was highlighted in a feature about STIFF on Karl Krogstad's TV show The American Avant Garde. Chris returned to STIFF in 2006, garnering an audience award for his political horror short Rabbit's Foot.

Creatures from the Pink Lagoon is Chris' first feature film.
