ABOUT

Christina is a New York–based director drawn to stories that live in the grey, where love and loss, beauty and rupture, truth and ambiguity all coexist. Her work spans documentary, narrative, and hybrid forms, always grounded in emotional realism and the quiet complexity of human relationships.


Her most recent short film, When Everything Was Blue, has screened at over a dozen festivals across the U.S., U.K., and Europe, garnering multiple awards including Best Live Action Short at the Phoenix Film Festival, Outstanding  Narrative Short at the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival, Most Original / Creative Film at the Worldwide Women’s Film Festival, and several audience choice awards. The film blends documentary elements with narrative storytelling; a layered, intimate approach she continues to explore in her first feature (currently in development).
