Christopher's early life unfolded in the charming, rural town of Summerville, situated in the breathtaking landscape of North Eastern Oregon. The town's rustic allure and natural splendor would later serve as the creative catalyst for his cinematic magnum opus, "Sammyville", a film loosely inspired by the real-life, lawless community of outlaws that thrives in the surrounding area. It is worth noting that the movie's production took place in the very same town, with the majority of the supporting cast comprising locals, including his childhood best friend. Furthermore, the film features brief appearances from actual residents of Summerville, including the enigmatic and intimidating proprietor, Sammy, who has garnered a legendary reputation in the region.
