Christopher Sprinkle

about

With over two decades of experience at the intersection of arts, culture, and storytelling, Christopher Sprinkle serves as the Head of Creative Production at the J. Paul Getty Trust. His career is rooted in a passion for high-impact visual narratives—from overseeing complex video and stills campaigns for world-class institutional collections to executive producing feature documentaries and podcasts. He thrives on the challenge of translating historical and artistic contexts into engaging digital experiences, whether he's managing a multi-disciplinary team in Los Angeles or leading international production projects in cities like Mumbai and Florence.

Christopher's creative philosophy is built on technical precision and a "solution-oriented" approach to leadership. Beyond the director’s chair, he is a dedicated photographer, often found capturing "blue hour" moments or street scenes around the world. He believes that a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to constant improvement are the keys to a meaningful career and a well-lived life.

He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, daughter, and two rescue dogs.
