The American cinematographer Christina Dobre was drawn to her art through her combined interests in storytelling, photography and psychology.  She says: she strives to create emotionally-driven imagery that helps us to feel, to connect and to heal. Her first professional production as a crew member was the 2013 drama CREEDMORIA about a teenage girl growing up in a dysfunctional family. It was a story she says that resonated with her. Christina was born in New Jersey in 1995, the middle of three children; she has an older sister and younger brother. Her father Dumitru was an immigrant from the Communist state of Romania - he emigrated to the US as a teenager and eventually became a Public Service Electrician. Her mother Donna is a nurse and instilled in Christina diverse values which have shaped her personality. an early interest in photography that she picked up from her father began the foundation to her career and by the time she attended Pennsbury High School in Fairless Hill, PA, Christina knew that story telling through film was her calling. In 2019 she graduated Fordham University in New York with a BA in Communications with a focus on Film Studies. Her determination to break into the industry was soon rewarded with a variety of productions from commercials to music, including The King for Sarah Kingsley, and narrative shorts, like AT NIGHT that was screened at an Academy Qualifying Festival.  Christina also advocates for women in camera through online education and by sharing her experiences as a woman in camera with her filmmaking community on social media. Christina was accepted in the ASC Vision Mentorship Program for 2024-25. She lives with her partner Johann Beute in New York. Christina’s links:Website: https://christinadobre.com/IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5992321/Instagram: @christinadobre https://www.instagram.com/christinadobre Women whose work Christina admires::Polly MorganRina YangKira KellyKate ArizmendiAlicia SlimmerBarbie LeungKat CastroCharlie GilletteChristina’s playlist:ClairoChappell RoanBillie EilishParamoreNothing But Thieves Green DayABBAEarth, Wind, FireFirst aired: November 19, 2024 Host: Chris StaffordA Hollowell Studios ProductionFollow @thecalltimepodcast on InstagramEmail: [email protected] Studios Productions: 1000+ episodes; AART, WiSP Podcast Network, WiSP Sports
