hi, I’m kristen.


I'm an emerging producer based in Sydney, Australia.

Born and raised in Melbourne, I grew up in a migrant household of Greek and Italian heritage in the northern suburbs. I am committed to authentic workplaces where I can learn, grow and collaborate. I am passionate about telling stories with heart and have proven expertise across various types of media including video, print, motion graphics and digital marketing.

My debut feature film, Salt Along The Tongue, written and directed by Parish Malfitano (dir. Bloodshot Heart), world premiered at SXSW Sydney 2024. I developed and produced a short proof of concept called Corduroy, which was selected in the Top 5 of the 2022 AACTA Pitch: Focus competition with Sony, whilst my work as production manager on the short film Learning the Curvature Of The Earth world premiered at Flickerfest 2022 and won Best Direction, Editing & Drama at AWFF 2022.

For the past three years, I've worked alongside brands to hit their goals and tell moving stories - working to support world-leading brands such as Adobe, Atlassian, WWF, NIDA, and Commonwealth Bank Australia. I have experience in a range of mediums, from commercial to unscripted (Top Gear, Dancing With The Stars, Mastermind via BBC Studios Australia). I am currently a part of the team at Mighty Sound, post-producing across scripted and unscripted storytelling (Taniwha Unleashed, Body Blow, The Great Australian Bake Off.)

I'm passionate about the digital landscape and can be best described as a 'web series godmother' - having joined the Melbourne WebFest as their Engagement Manager from 2017 - 2021.

It was integral to my future-proofing that I refine my craft at the Australian, Film Television & Radio School, completing a Bachelor of Screen Production in 2023. I kicked off my career with a Bachelor of Media and Communication & Graduate Diploma in Journalism at La Trobe University. You can find works of mine in Punkee, the AU Review, Rabelais Magazine and UniPollWatch. I was a host of C31 Melbourne's Smith Street 86 (2016 - 2017), and SYN 1700 (2017).

I have a background in digital marketing, working with social (organic and paid), website development and e-commerce, as well as CRM, building audiences from the ground up.

I hope we get to work together soon.
