Christopher Browne

Christopher Browne, also known as Chris Browne, is an American documentary film maker and director.

Early life Browne is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.

He then took a job on a documentary called The Paris Review…Early Chapters (2001) produced by Checkerboard Films. The movie, which chronicled George Plimpton's early years at the Paris Review, offered the opportunity to work alongside legendary documentarian Albert Maysles. Working with Mr. Maysles spurred Brownes' interest in documentary film and he stayed at the Checkerboard Films another year where he supervised the post-production of The Paris Review: Early Years, and helped produce Ralph Gibson: Photographer/Book Artist (2002).

In 2002, Browne co-founded Dionysian Films with Bill Bryan and his brother Alex Browne and friend Bill Bryan. It was also screened at AFI Fest, Cinevegas, and the Tribeca Film Festival. Variety noted, "First-time helmer Chris Browne’s sense of humor captures perfectly the contradictions, absurdities and drama at the intersection of class, media, money and sports without dissing any of his player/subjects." It was televised nationally on the PBS series Independent Lens on April 25, 2006. Also a documentary, After the Cup chronicles the story of the Israeli soccer team from the town of Sakhnin, Israel. The film was released May 21, 2010. Vanity Fair said the film was "an energetic, edge-of-your-seat genuine crowd pleaser."
