After graduating from high school, he began studying psychology and philosophy in Munich, but dropped out to enter the film business. After an internship at Claussen+Wöbke Filmproduktion, he worked as an assistant to the production manager. Since 2004 he has worked as a production manager on several feature films, including "Alles auf Zucker!" ("Go For Zucker – An Unorthodox Comedy", 2005). Mainly, however he was an assistant director on numerous productions until 2014, among them Hans-Christian Schmid's "Requiem" (2006) and "Was bleibt" ("Home For The Weekend", 2012), Marco Kreuzpaintner's "Krabat" (2008), Leander Haußmann's "Hotel Lux" (2011), Sherry Hormann's "3096 Tage" ("3096 Days, 2013) and Neele Leana Vollmar's "Rico, Oskar und die Tieferschatten" ("The Pasta Detectives", 2014).
In 2014, Doll founded the Berlin-based Hellinger / Doll Filmproduktion together with Lothar Hellinger. With one of their first productions, Anika Decker's satirical comedy "Traumfrauen" ("Dreamgirls", 2015), Doll and Hellinger were nominated for the Austrian Film and Television Award Romy in the category "Best Producer Feature Film". In the following years, the two produced hits such as Decker's "High Society" as well as Karoline Herfurth's directorial works "SMS für dich" ("Text For You", 2016), "Sweethearts" (2019), "Wunderschön" (2020), for which they were nominated for the German Film Award, and "Einfach mal was Schönes" (2022). The thriller series "Beat" (2018, director: Marco Kreuzpaintner), which Doll and Hellinger produced for Amazon Prime Video, won a prestigious Grimme Award, but was still canceled after one season.
In February 2023, Christopher Doll began shooting his own feature film debut as a director: The modern fairy tale "Eine Millionen Minuten" tells the story of a couple and their five-year-old daughter in search of an alternative life model far from social constraints. The film is planned for release in early 2024.
