About Christian Higginbotham

Hi, my name is Chris! UCLA graduate with a B.A. in Political Science and dual minors in English and Film, TV, & Digital Media. Los Angeles native, with a passion for storytelling and development! As a Development Intern at Level 1 Entertainment, I built my script coverage skills and provided insight on the commerciality of prospective projects. At Clubhouse Pictures, I honed my coverage skills and covered desks to assist the Executive Vice President and President’s offices. After learning about the worlds of management, sales, and finance as an intern for Cinetic Media and interning for both Film and TV departments at Village Roadshow, I worked in TV Scripted at NBCU/Peacock. In my final internship at Roadside Attractions, I primarily worked in Development & Acquisitions while covering the Co-Presidents\' desks. On campus, I served as a Speakers Staffer for UCLA\'s Campus Events Commission and worked with a team to bring speakers and comedians to the student body. I also wrote satire and news for The Bruin Review, UCLA\'s largest independent publication. Currently, I\'m working as an Agent Trainee at United Talent Agency and enjoying learning about the inner workings of the representation business at the highest level. In my free time, you can find me speeding down PCH and climbing around Malibu (huge proponent of riding in the bike lane).
