Originally hailing from Massachusetts and enjoying a bi-coastal childhood and a multi-state work and college journey, Kristen Wheeler landed in California and dove right into the Film and Television industry. She started out parlaying her theater lighting experience into grip and electrician work, an unusual choice for a female at the time, and did stints in almost every department on set. After working on a wide variety of genres and formats, predominantly as a Line Producer, she decided it was time to combine all of her logistical and practical experience with her creative vision and started directing in 2018. She has directed narrative, lifestyle, documentary, and educational projects and is hard at work to achieve her goal of becoming an Episodic TV Director.
