It is a privilege to welcome actress and filmmaker Christina Wren to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Audiences may recognize Christina from standout performance as Major Carrie Farris in blockbuster hits Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. She also starred as Vanessa (Half Sisters), Lusa (Lusa), Rudy Hadid-Robinson (Hicksters), and L.A. Macabre (J.P. Cutler). She provided the voice of Essi Daven in The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep and currently portrays Caroline on ABC’s Will Trent.
Beyond her work on screen, Christina is an inspiring advocate for creativity and empowerment. As Vice President of Women of Color Filmmakers (WOCF), she co-founded and chairs the annual WOCF Film Lab, a six-month intensive training program offering workshops and mentorship from industry leaders like Larry Fong (300), America Young (Barbie), Carl Seaton (Snowfall), and Adam Stein (Kim Possible). The lab provides emerging women of color filmmakers with the tools and guidance to launch their careers by creating original films.
Christina also collaborates with her husband, Demetrius Wren, through their production company, Two Kids with a Camera. Together, they’ve created compelling branded content for commercial clients and developed original projects, including their first documentary, Streetball, filmed in South Africa. Christina’s upcoming indie film, Swishy, is in development—a heartfelt coming-of-age story about a high school girls’ basketball team inspired by her experiences growing up as a first-generation American.
In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Christina Wren spoke about her memories of filming Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, previewed her roles on Will Trent and The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, and discussed how the WOCF Film Lab fostered diversity in the film industry.
