Hi I'm Chris, a 22 year old filmmaker and recent UC Santa Cruz grad based in Santa Cruz, California. Besides having a lifelong love for filmmaking, I also have a passion for teaching and education. I'm currently a film production mentor with the Latino Film Institute's Youth Cinema Project, where I teach and make films with students in Title 1 schools across California. I try to think of filmmaking itself as another method of teaching in order to enact social change, inclusion, and a worldwide acceptance of different cultures.
