About this Video

June and Daniel spend their last day together in sorrow as June prepares to leave town for a program far away. In an attempt to relive their best moments, they cannot help but notice their time together is coming to an unavoidable end.

"Crossroads" is a personal retrospective on what it feels like to leave someone and someplace close to you. I wanted to dedicate this film to my time spent in Santa Cruz, California, and challenge myself to shoot in 16mm for the first time.

I'm Chris, a 24 year old filmmaker and UC Santa Cruz graduate based in San Francisco, California. I am an award-winning independent filmmaker who focuses on social-justice centered narratives with a strong emotional catharsis. I also have an extensive background in teaching and education. I'm currently the Education Coordinator at SFFILM (San Francisco International Film Festival) where I organize screenings for Bay Area students, and teach the Filmmaking Camp in the summers. I see my filmmaking style as a way of empathizing and informing; to enact social change, inclusion, and allow for a worldwide acceptance of different cultures.
