Cristóbal Krusen

Writer/Director Cristóbal Krusen

Screenwriter, film director and author, Cristóbal Krusen was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. While an English major at Harvard University, he intended pursuing a career as a novelist and poet. A growing interest in photography and the history of cinema, however, led him to simultaneously explore the world of filmmaking.[1]

Eventually, he changed his major and schools, graduating from New York University (BFA, Film and Television) in 1976.[2] That same year he started working in New York City with a small production company making commercials and industrial films. In the years that followed, Cristóbal worked for other New York-based companies in a range of capacities, including script reader, film editor, writer, and finally director/producer.

In the mid-1980s, Cristóbal began to focus on Spanish-language productions for U.S. based relief agencies and Christian ministries overseas. In 1988 he founded Messenger Films,[3] and produced his first dramatic film, the award-winning Ropa Nueva para Felipe (New Clothes for Felipe).

In 1989 Cristóbal earned his MFA at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

Among his additional feature film credits as writer/director are Final Solution,[4] ¿Con Quién Te Vas?, More Than Dreams, First Landing, Destino Final, Lo Mejor de Rescatados del Infierno, The Bill Collector, and Undaunted.[5][6] He has also written the book Undaunted for Tyndale Momentum.[7]

Sabina K., Krusen's newest film, has been shot on location in Bosnia and Herzegovina,[8] and had its world premiere at the 2015 Sarajevo Film Festival.
