Cristian Velasco is a twenty seven years old director, dancer and choreographer from Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.
From an early age he became interested in dancing and began a prosperous career as a dancer, a stage that allowed him to gain not only national but also international recognition. For more than 10 years, he participated in different projects such as musicals and television shows, becoming part of the cast of important artists such as Rihanna or JYJ. After his return to the islands, Cristian begins to work as choreographer, an artistic side which allowed him to test his ability as director.
Over time, his eagerness to experiment shifted his interest to the audiovisual industry so in 2015 he began his training, in an autodidactic way, in the filmmaking, photography direction and editing. With this knowledge, he decided to venture as a freelance filmmaker, creating small videos for brands like Wolford and Cream Cosmetics.
Cristian discovers his true passion in the genre of the fashion film. The ephemeral, musical and choreographic behavior of fashion fits perfectly with everything learned in his artistic career, so he focuses on depicting all this into his videos.
In this new stage, he develops different projects, among them, APOLLO, winner in Canadian International Fashion Film Festival, Seattle Fashion Film Festival and Pacific Fashion Film Festival and more than 16 nominations; and FASH IN BOX, an annual laboratory to produce four films with the collaboration of four artists from different discipliness.
Currently all of Cristian’s latest works are focused on fashion, advertising and music.
