Christine
Connolly, a.k.a. “C. Marie Connolly,” is a worldly woman to say the
least. She is the youngest of four siblings from a military family
and even though she was born in Alexandria, VA she didn’t stay there
long. She has also lived in Korea, Japan, Hawaii, London,
Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Tennessee. She graduated
from Marquette University and pursued a career in television journalism. Her job as a News
Reporter also allowed for relocation and experiences that could not have been
gained by any other manner.
With this background of constant adaptation she has brought unparalleled skills in locations, production management, producing, casting, and general problem solving to the crew of Rusted Sun Films/Belmont Productions. As fortune may have it, Christine and Bevan began dating during post-production of RSF’s first film, THE VISITOR (2003). It was a natural progression that she would take a hands on approach with A COWBOY’S SILVER LINING (2004) and fall even deeper into the folds with their follow-up project DIVINE MANIPULATION OF THE THREADS(2006).
In more ways than one she has become Bevan Bell’s personal manager of sorts, making sure to become involved with all of his film projects in some facet or another. While Rusted Sun Films “is a family,” Christine takes those emotions to heart -- literally as these personal relationships bloom. She never takes “no” for an answer… and if it “has to get done today,” she somehow finds a way.
