About the Director

Christopher, a dyslexic, ADHD, disabled, Latinx filmmaker from the Central Valley in California, where resources for learning disabilities are critically underfunded, discovered early on how stories could combat injustice, which led him to pursue cinema. After receiving his MFA from USC, he collaborated with major brands like Coca-Cola, Microsoft, GEICO, and Disney. He worked alongside celebrities such as The Rock, Wayne Brady, and Jack Black. Now a proud USC alumnus, Christopher teaches directing at his alma mater, where he is also on the ‘Adjunct Faculty Alliance’s’ union bargaining committee. His work is distinguished by its unique fusion of humor, horror, drama, and social consciousness. His films and screenplays have been featured at prestigious festivals like Slamdance, Austin Film Festival, Hollyshorts, and Santa Barbara, earning numerous accolades. Christopher's achievements include participation in programs with RespectAbility Lab, Ghetto Film School, FREE THE WORKS Residence Program, AdAges 'The List,' AICP’s Mentorship Program, and the CDDP Directing Program. As a Latinx filmmaker, he is devoted to creating authentic narratives and promoting positive change through his work.
