Bio:
Christopher Wilkinson is a guitar player with day gigs.
These day gigs have included co-writing the screenplay for Oliver Stone's film "Nixon", for which Chris was nominated for an Academy Award.
They've included writing a four-part television series -- Fordlandia -- directed by Werner Herzog and telling the story of Henry Ford's ill-fated attempt to create an American factory town in the Brazilian Amazon.
And Ali (as in "Muhammad"), and Miles (as in "Davis") Ahead (an instance of writers not always being happy with the outcome of their progeny).
Chris wrote "Copying Beethoven", a fictional take on the ultimate meister of Sturm und Drang. He wrote and produced Pawn Sacrifice, about lanky, tempermental and ultimately imploded supreme strategic and tactial genius Bobby Fischer.
He worked on the screenplay for "Mercury" (as in "Freddie") and "All Eyez on Me", about Tupac Shakur. And co-wrote sci-fi spectacular Gemini Man, starring Will Smith.
Joyce Carol Oates famously wanders her house idly between bouts of writing, looking out windows...a passer-by might think her a bored and vacant-minded grande dame waiting for the tea water to boil...
Chris's bouts with his very successful avocation are interspersed with further bouts at his true vocation...music, as he manifests it on guitar.
