He produced “A Punk Daydream” (2019) by Jimmy Hendrickx, a documentary on street punk in Indonesia, which premiered at Rotterdam Film Festival in 2019. “Slave Island”, currently in post production is a co-production between Belgium, Estonia, Taiwan and Italy and was selected at many labs and markets such as DocEdge, Sunny Side of the Doc, MediMed, Movies That Matter and FipaDoc, gaining awards and attention across the film markets. Kristian produces documentaries, but also has series and features in development. His projects typically explore significant social challenges within various communities. Appreciative of the learning experiences each project brings, Kristian’s dedication to impactful storytelling was acknowledged in 2022 when he was named an Emerging Producer at the Ji-Hlava Film Festival.
