Christopher LaMark is an American director, writer, and actor recognized for his ability to fearlessly tell powerful stories that often challenge mainstream thought and exhibit historical significance. His films range from emotional heart-felt narratives to compelling historical documentaries.
His uncompromising style was on full display in the feature film, Unspoken (2022), a documentary starring Grammy winning artist, Lecrae, Jackie Hill-Perry, and acclaimed sports analyst Chris Broussard. The ground-breaking film that addresses the controversial topic of Christianity and how the faith is commonly depicted as a western religion, aired on FOX Soul for 6 consecutive weeks, and is used in churches worldwide as an educational resource.
His second documentary Burning in Galena Manor (2025), depicts the life of Milton Alford, the first African American firefighter in the city of Houston. The film gained entry into seven film festivals including the Montreal International Black Film Festival.
He stepped into the narrative filmmaking space with his debut short film, Shine (2017).

The multi-talented artist from Baytown, Texas graduated from the University of Houston where he majored in media production while playing Division I football.

He moved to Los Angeles to further develop his acting career with co-star roles on shows such as Hawthorne (2009), starring Jada Pickett-Smith and Gary Unmarried (2008), starring Jay Mohr.
