Catch Christie George on Do Radio: I Am not Creative with Bristol Baughan 22-28 December 2025

Christie is an investor, producer and writer and currently advise foundations on impact investing and narrative change. I also like doing creative projects - I’ve done things like buying a rural movie theater with a group of friends and organizing this billboard campaign against Islamophobia in San Francisco.

Christie has been working at the intersection of media, technology and social change for more than 20 years. She began her career as an independent film distributor at Women Make Movies, and she is the former President of New Media Ventures, where she oversaw investment into more than 80 progressive startups. Her work has been featured in Politico, Vice and the Wall Street Journal as well as books like Story Money Impact: Funding Media for Social Change, Mechanical Bull: How You Can Achieve Startup Success and Lean Impact: How to Innovate for Radically Greater Social Good.

Her creative work has been included in Southern Exposure’s Annual Juried Show This Will Never Work and the This Is What I Want festival; and I produced the award-winning documentary feature Hunting in Wartime (PBS) and the animated short Confessions of a Jumbotron Addict. Her most recent project is The Emergency Was Curiosity, an illustrated book report, exhibition and event series focused on cultivating creative attention.
