York, United States. Christensen's father was an engineer and his

mother was a librarian, with him being their only child. Christensen's

first experience and inspiration with film occurred when he watched

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) with his father, after which he

began developing flip books. His favorite pictures were from the

1970s, including Chinatown (1974), Nashville (1975), Taxi Driver

(1976), Network (1976) and Manhattan (1979). However, Christensen

professed The Seventh Seal (1957) to be the most influential film that

would inspire his eventual career in filmmaking.After graduating from

high school, Christensen enrolled at Pratt Institute, where he pursued

a degree in graphic design and illustration. While at Pratt,

Christensen filled his weekends with acting classes, where he

befriended the younger Paul Wesley, who was sixteen at the time.

Throughout his time studying, Christensen was the lead vocalist and

lead guitar in a hobbyist band called Ghistor, composed of himself,

bassist Amanda Tannen and drummer Arthur Kremer. After Christensen

graduated from Pratt with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration and

graphic design, the band disbanded. As his first venture in his

post-college career, Christensen produced and sold abstract-realistic

paintings generally themed around prominent rock music figures. He was

commissioned for clients including the journals New York Metropolis

and The Village Voice.
