Chrussy is a queer filmmaker from Winnipeg, MB, with over 16 years of industry experience and a lifelong background in DIY filmmaking. Their experience ranges from independently made, low- or no-budget films to unionized, big-budget productions, with roles including director, writer, editor, camera operator, actor, locations scout, assistant locations manager, and production office assistant.
Creatively, Chrussy is drawn to experimental and hybrid forms of storytelling that blend mediums and sources, balance planning with spontaneity, and use montage as a tool for cultural and socioeconomic critique. As a European settler and queer person, their work often explores themes of colonialism, race, gender, sexuality, and relationships. Professionally, they are committed to supporting the growing presence of queer and Indigenous stories in film
and media production.
