CHRISTINE BEEBE- Co-Producer

Christine began on "Fuck" as our official Academy of Motion Pictures, Television and Sciences Intern. After suffering Steve's many requests and demands for lunch and office supplies, she went back to school and received her Master's Degree in Film Directing from CalArts.

She hopes one day to have Academy interns of her own to send to Starbucks for her Venti Chai Soy lattes. Her new short, "The Band," that she wrote and directed, has hit the festival circuit and we are all confident that Christine soon will be able to tell Steve to permanently fuck off.
