 Writer/Director Cristóbal Krusen |
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, Krusen 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, Krusen began to focus on Spanish-language productions for U.S.-based relief agencies and Christian ministries outside of the USA. In 1988 he founded Messenger Films,[3] and produced his first dramatic film, Ropa Nueva para Felipe (New Clothes for Felipe).
In 1989 Krusen earned his MFA at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.[citation needed]
He is also an author and has written the books Undaunted for Tyndale Momentum[4] and They Were Christians (Baker Books).
Sabina K., Krusen's newest completed film, has been shot on location in Bosnia and Herzegovina,[5] and had its world premiere at the 2015 Sarajevo Film Festival. In June 2016, Sabina K. won Best Picture and Best International Film at ICVM in Cincinnati, Ohio.
