About Cristina
I am a film director and educator with over eight years of university-level teaching experience, including four years as Academic Director of a Master’s Program in Art Direction for Film. My academic background includes three master’s degrees in Film Directing, Cinematography, and Research in Contemporary Culture (Humanities), which inform both my creative practice and my teaching approach.
Alongside my academic work, I have designed and built sets for several audiovisual productions and developed my own film projects within professional and festival contexts. This combination of theoretical depth and hands-on experience allows me to mentor students with both conceptual rigor and practical insight.
I believe in structured, thoughtful development. My sessions are supportive but demanding spaces where we work carefully on clarity, visual coherence, narrative strength, and professional positioning. I help students not only improve their work, but also understand why it works.
I particularly enjoy working with committed creatives who want to deepen their practice and develop projects with intention and confidence.

My approach combines academic rigor with professional film practice. I have over eight years of teaching experience at university level and four years as Academic Director of a Master’s Program in Art Direction for Film, where I designed the curriculum and mentored emerging filmmakers and visual artists through the development of their projects.
My sessions are structured, strategic, and tailored to serious creative work. I do not offer casual feedback or generic advice. Instead, I work with you to strengthen the conceptual clarity, structure, and professional positioning of your project.
Each session begins by identifying your current stage and defining clear objectives. We then analyze your material in depth — whether it is a portfolio, a film project, or a written proposal — focusing on coherence, visual identity, narrative strength, and long-term development.
A typical session includes:
• Detailed review of your work
• Structural and conceptual analysis
• Identification of strengths and weaknesses
• Strategic recommendations
• A concrete development roadmap
I work with:
• Film students preparing competitive applications
• Directors developing short or feature projects
• Visual artists building professional portfolios
• Creatives applying for labs, grants, or residencies
• Writers refining narrative structure for audiovisual contexts
What distinguishes my mentoring is the combination of academic leadership and professional industry insight. I have guided projects through development processes linked to festivals, labs, and institutional frameworks, and I understand both the creative and structural demands of contemporary film practice.
Sessions are available online in English and Spanish.
