About Kristine

Philip Nelson, President

NELCO MEDIA

"Kristine is considerably more knowledgeable and connected than she would ever let on. This is uncommon in Hollywood. She was one of my lead advisors as a producer of the 69th Miss Universe Pageant and was invaluable to my success on the project."

Gary Seferian, Vice President Portfolio Management

EAST WEST BANK

"Her skill in guiding the process through the offer/closing was outstanding and her efficiency and effectiveness far exceeded any of her peers."

Jason Zelin, Entertainment Attorney

"I was the executive in charge of the film acquisitions at such studios as Miramax, Village Roadshow, and Warner, Bros., where I regularly hired younger executives whose skill sets and makeup were well suited for such acquisitions. The role requires not just an appreciation for the creative process and the players in a production, but also an understanding of what makes a film profitable in the marketplace.  

These two attributes are can be found in Kristine. We have had numerous discussions regarding scripts and the marketplace and I have found her taste in scripts we have discussed and her intelligence and business acumen to be on a superior level.

Moreover, I’ve always found Kristine to be diligent and hard-working and, perhaps, most importantly in the film business, a good “people“ person – someone who could enter a room of unknown personalities and have the ability to have intelligent and engaging conversations with anyone." 

Michael Rabehl, Director of Programming & Associate Director

CINEQUEST FILM FESTIVAL

"Kristine brings expertise and vision to her work in business and art. I find myself always seeking her advice and expertise, and I am not surprised that others do the same after witnessing her passion over the time I have known her. I find her strength and perspectives incredibly inspiring, and I absolutely love that she consistently has me thinking from a variety of viewpoints."

Eli Hershko

FILM PRODUCER

"I met Kristine when she was acquiring action films for AFM clients.  Since my film 'CARL[A]' starring Laverne Cox was an LGBTQ+ drama, Kristine referred me to her contact at Ariztical. Ariztical specialized in this genre and distributed my film."  

Patti Price and Corky Kessler

PRODUCER AND ENTERTAINMENT ATTORNEY

"It has been an absolute pleasure to have Ms. Kristine Kreska on our International Indie Filmmaker Day panel held during Sundance, Cannes, and TIFF. She brings incredible wisdom and encouragement to the attendees to help move their projects forward."
