Jean Liu Christen (JC) has always loved a good story. During the pandemic, JC transferred her knowledge and skills as department head for a publisher working with NY Times best-selling authors to film and television working in development with notable companies like Mandeville Film & Television, The Gotham Group, and Entertainment Lab. Shortly thereafter, she discovered her calling as a producer.
Through her company, 8C Entertainment, JC collaborates with Emmy-award winners, Oscar nominees, and celebrated studio directors to bring stories by prized writers to life. Her slate of exciting features and pilots in genres like supernatural faith-based thrillers, thought-provoking action dramas, romcoms, heartwarming family dramedies, and inspiring biopics celebrate the grit, determination and victories of unique voices and exceptional individuals who rise above the limitations and expectations of their world.
JC is passionate about paying it forward and serves in core leadership positions on several 501C boards that educate and encourage youth community service and leadership development, and promote and implement DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility) programs. She also supports charities that provide vital services to women and children in crisis. Industry-wise, JC is an active member in Women in Entertainment, Women in Film, CAPE (Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment), the Gold House, and is the Chief Operating Officer and Advisory Board Member of Influence Lab Women's, an organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering women at the juncture of faith and entertainment. When not working, JC loves hanging out at the beach, vacationing, and doing yard work with her large family; brunching, double-dating, book clubbing, traveling, learning something new, and watching movies with friends; and meeting interesting people with a stellar story to share.
