Cristóbal Krusen is an American filmmaker and author.[1] His early films were produced in Spanish in Latin America, including Ropa Nueva para Felipe (1990)[2] and ¿Con Quién Te Vas? (1995) followed by feature films produced in Africa, Asia, and Europe. These include the noteworthy Final Solution (2001)[3] and Sabina_K. (2015),[4] which was a finalist for Bosnia’s official entry at the 2016 Oscars.[5]
Krusen was born Christopher Barron Krusen in Tampa, Florida, the son of Margo Sauer and aviation pioneer Bill Krusen.[6] Krusen’s mother was from New Mexico of Hispanic descent and Krusen grew up speaking both English and Spanish.[7] Upon matriculating at Harvard, Krusen majored in English Literature, intending to pursue a career as a novelist and poet. A growing interest in photography and the history of cinema, however, led him to simultaneously explore filmmaking as a possible future career.[8]
Eventually Krusen changed his major and schools, graduating from New York University (BFA, Film and Television) in 1976.[9] He promptly started working with Tele-Tactics, a small production company making commercials and industrial films; other work in the New York film industry followed for several years, culminating in experience at both directing and producing.[10]
Careeredit
In the 1980s, Krusen founded Messenger Films as an outgrowth of his work on Spanish-language productions for U.S.-based relief agencies and international Christian ministries.[11] He produced his first dramatic film, Ropa Nueva para Felipe (New Clothes for Felipe), under the new Messenger Films banner.
In 1989 Krusen earned his MFA at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California[12] and has steadily produced and directed films since.[13]
He is also an author and has written the books Undaunted for Tyndale Momentum[14] and They Were Christians (Baker Books).[15]
Sabina K., Krusen's newest completed film, was shot on location in Bosnia and Herzegovina,[16] and had its world premiere at the 2015 Sarajevo Film Festival,[17] qualifying it for Oscar consideration in the Best Foreign Language Film category. In June 2016, Sabina K. won Best Picture and Best International Film at ICVM in Cincinnati, Ohio.[18]
