Agent, Imagine Talent
Christina runs Imagine Talent, a small boutique talent agency representing Writers and Directors, which was nominated for Best Agency for New Talent at the New Voice Awards 2024. She also founded and hosts the writers’ group for Women in Film and Television UK, which has been active for nearly 16 years, and chairs the jury for the WFTV Kay Mellor Screenwriting Lab. She’s been commissioned to write feature films, consulted for production companies, financiers and ad agencies, as well as a spell freelancing at United Agents. She also spent a number of years working in film development finance for a fund that invested in 300 British film projects over 3 years. Christina can often be found giving talks to try and help demystify the process of getting an agent for emerging talent, and recently launched her own script services consultancy to give writers access to the expertise of an agent in a new way.
