Chris Terrio is an American film director and writer based in New York City. After going on the film festival circuit, his short film "Book of Kings" was shown on IFC in 2004 ([1]).

Terrio's feature-length debut, Heights (Sony Pictures Classics, 2005) premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. It follows a pivotal twenty-four hours in the interconnected lives of five New Yorkers. It stars Glenn Close, Elizabeth Banks, James Marsden, and Jesse Bradford, and features Isabella Rossellini, George Segal, and Rufus Wainwright in small roles. It was one of the final films produced by the late Ismail Merchant.

Terrio's next films will be an adaptation of the play "Ten Unknowns" by playwright Jon Robin Baitz, and a film version of the book Random Family by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, to be shot on location in the Bronx in 2007.
