Cristo Petrides

Bio:

Born and raised in McAllen, Texas, Cristo Petrides loved two things as a child: watching movies and then reciting them to anyone who’d listen. After making two short films in his sophomore year of high school and writing dozens more, it was clear his passion was filmmaking and writing. With the support of his family and friends, he is working with his teacher Barry Glasser to bring his dreams to light.  He is currently writing his first feature length screenplay and is also midway through his first novel.
