Timeline

1963

Christine Jeffs (born 29 January 1963) is a New Zealand-born director, editor, and screenwriter.

She is best known for directing the films Rain, Sylvia, and Sunshine Cleaning .

Jeffs is also known for her work on television commercials.

1990

Jeffs obtained a diploma in film editing in 1990, after which she held the position of assistant editor on three feature-length films: Ruby and Rata (1990), Crush (1992), and Absent Without Leave (1992).

1993

From her work as an assistant editor, Jeffs wrote, directed and edited her first short film Stroke in 1993, which unexpectedly gained attention from film festivals like Cannes and Sundance.

Following her success with Stroke, Jeffs began to receive offers to direct commercials.

1994

Just under a decade after Stroke, Jeffs returned to film, and had her first feature-length debut as a director with Rain, adapted from a 1994 short novel by Kirsty Gunn of the same name.

Premiering at the Cannes Directors Fortnight, Rain was highly praised by critics.

The following year, Variety included Jeffs in their annual "10 Directors to Watch" lists.

2003

In 2003, two years after her global success with Rain, Jeffs second feature-length film, Sylvia, was released.

Starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Craig, this film followed the lives of the poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes.

Jeffs was requested to take over the project well into production after the previous director left, to which she is stated as saying "[the project] had its blessings and its curses, because it's such a different kettle of fish to become involved with a project at such a late stage – rather than one you sat with and dreamed with and worked on for years."

Sylvia was praised by critics.

2008

After Sylvia, Jeffs' third feature-length film, Sunshine Cleaning, was released in 2008 and was written by Megan Holley.

The film starred Hollywood actresses Amy Adams and Emily Blunt taking on the roles of two sisters who start a cleaning business specifically for crime-scenes.

Alan Arkin also starred in the film as the peculiar father of the two women.

Although Sunshine Cleaning was Jeffs' first comedy, she considers her first film, Stroke "kind of funny."

Much like Sylvia, Jeffs was brought in as a director after the project had already started.

Jeffs is said to have co-founded a production company in New Zealand called The Girl Film Company.

Jeffs lives in Auckland, New Zealand, with her partner John Toon, who was the cinematographer on all of Jeffs's films.

2018

Jeffs has a 2018 master's degree in fine arts from the University of Auckland, examining the relationship between a photographer and their subject.

She began her career by working locally in post-production, most notably as an assistant film editor.

Afterwards, Jeffs went on to attend the Australian Film, Television and Radio School, located in Sydney, Australia.
