Christian “Kon” Cruz / Film & place

A city.
A character.
A story.

Chicago, through someone who knows it.

Come on. Step inside. ↘
01 / A sense of place

The story starts
outside the door.

Christian “Kon” Cruz knows the neighborhoods. His films carry that same sense of place, from the walls outside to the life within.

Direction, cinematography, and editing come together around a person and the place they are inviting you into.

A room.
A conversation.
A point of view.

The camera, the screen, and the person beyond it. A look into a shoot with Kon.
