you got two black eyes from loving too hard and a black car that matches your blackest soul
Christopher was never a fan of his full name. The youngest of three, his two sisters and moms doted on him. Surrounded by femininity, he was much more comfortable with Kit. Kit was non threatening. Kit could be anything. In this case, Kit had a huge soul. His empathy for everything around him was apparent to everyone who came in contact with the little boy, and a source of pride for his moms.
Kit was the one coming home with a girl whose parent had died, who rescued puppies from gutters and stood up for the bullied. They were all hallmarks of what made him a good man, but to his male peers, he was the opposite. He wasn’t quick to anger or fast with his insults; he was honest. He meant everything he said, and that made Kit a target. He was liberally bullied in school, enough so that Kit’s moms transferred him right before high school started to a private school. There his self confidence was given the chance to grow, as were the opportunities to explore his interest.
He discovered that everything could look different through the lens of a camera. Framing, lighting, perspective, whenever Kit had a camera these were the tools he had to change peoples minds and hearts, and it made him fall in love with the medium. As high school graduation neared, he applied to schools with fantastic filmography majors.
invisible to the Hollywood shrine always on the hunt for a little more time
Kit pushed himself and excelled in college, graduating at the top of his class. Since his family already lived in southern California, he stayed home for a year after getting his bachelors, working and saving up money, before heading for the City of Angels. Although in the beginning he got bit parts as an actor, he managed to get a job where he really wanted, behind the camera. His eventual goal is to go into directing, but for now he is comfortable behind the lens of the camera, getting the perfect shot.
LEVI GREYSON: As the Director of Photography, Levi already has accomplished one of Kit’s goals. The older man has taken a shine to Kit, and always tries to get him hired or on board with whatever project he’s currently working on. He also teases him on his impossible crush of starlet Caroline Mars, and is almost like a mix of a father figure and ball busting older brother.
CAROLINE MARS: Kit is of course familiar with the scandal surrounding Caroline Mars. He also knows how much weight the Mars name carries. And, even if he could get past all that and her hulking body guard, Kit is still sure he is way out of Caro’s league. But, he just can’t help his feelings when he’s got Caroline in his view.
