Christian Kang Bachini writes high-concept, cinematic horror that combines science fiction spectacle with supernatural horrors—and just enough gallows humor to smile through the dread.
Born in Italy, he abandoned the idea of a sensible career at twenty-three and moved to the Far East to chase a martial arts acting dream. He learned Mandarin, took punches for a living, choreographed fights for film, and worked across Asia and Europe as both performer and producer.
In 2021, horror came calling. Loudly. He stepped behind the camera to direct Escalation, a proof-of-concept short he plans to develop into a feature following his successful festival run.
When Christian is not writing or on set, he likes to spend time in nature and dreams of becoming a real-life Dr. Doolittle.
