Christopher Banks

Christopher Banks has worked in journalism, music, and film. In the 90s he wrote and produced songs for band Deep Obsession, before reinventing himself as a journalist, directing and reporting for TV's Queer Nation. In 2005 Banks wrote and directed feature comedy Quiet Night In. He followed it with a series of award-winning shorts, which have been invited to gay and lesbian festivals in both NZ and North America.

I only let them out at weekends, making sure they wore electronic anklets so I could keep tabs on them. They were a shifty lot.
