Christopher Beaver

Marin-based author and documentary film producer Christopher Beaver was born and raised in Northern California. Over the years he and his films have won numerous awards, including a National Emmy in News and Broadcasting, a U.S. Film Festival (Sundance) Grand Prize for Documentary, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.

With a penchant for California but an eye on the world, his lens has captured everything from the links between nuclear power and nuclear weapons, the San Francisco Bay and it's open space border, to water policy in an age of global warming.  After the Storm is Christopher's first book, inspired by his admiration for Bob Walker's work and subject matter, as well as by his own personal friendship with Walker. Having worked with him through several film projects on Bay Area environmental issues, finishing this book for Christopher has in part been an unspoken promise to ensure that Walker's work continues to receive recognition and have an impact on the public sphere.
