MEET YOUR FOUNDERS
Christine Chen
Cofounder
Self-taught, writer/director Christine Chen came up the ranks by doing almost every job on a film set. She started as a documentary filmmaker and transitioned to narrative storytelling in 2010. Since 2016, she has also worked as a DGA director and 1st assistant director in the industry as well as a camera operator and editor.
Her feature film, ERZULIE is currently on digital video on demand. Christine started Get Reelisms, a brand aimed at educating those interested in working on set professionally, back in 2019 when her and two other co-founders, Kellie Penna & Jason Cates, released the first edition of GET REELISMS, a picture book containing 100+ terms and tips to help you thrive on set.

“I always assumed I had spend thousands to go to film school in order to make movies. But once I learned the basics through the Get Reelisms Academy, I am so glad I put that money straight into my first film instead.”
