Monday Morning

Christopher Guerrero

Director

Christopher Guerrero is a Latinx filmmaker from Selma, California, whose work fuses genre, heart, and social consciousness. Growing up in a town with underfunded schools, he found power in storytelling to challenge injustice. Drawing from his Central Valley roots and experience with dyslexia and ADHD, Christopher brings empathy, humor, and visual precision to his work. A graduate and directing professor at USC, he has directed national campaigns for Disney, Coca-Cola, and Microsoft, featuring talent such as The Rock and Jack Black. His award-winning films blend horror and social commentary, screening at festivals like Slamdance and Austin Film Festival. His short Reprogrammed won the 2025 Frieze LA Film Award; his drama Monday Morning premieres at LA Shorts; and his latest project, LOCUST GROVE, won the Eli Roth Horror Section/WeShort Horror Short Film Script Competition, and he is currently directing the short with Eli Roth as Executive Producer. A Circle member of Rideback Rise, a fellow of RespectAbility Lab and Ghetto Film School, Christopher also advocates for labor equity. His goal is to create visually daring television that amplifies underrepresented voices, telling culturally resonant stories that entertain and empower. Still pitching. Still directing. Always pushing forward.
