(THEY/HE)
Kristoffer Bradley Cruz is a queer Filipino-Canadian writer, director, and actor born in Toronto, Canada. He has been making independent short films since he was 12 years old when he co-founded Gooshlems with Ralph Ramos. Their stories typically explore the human connection on a small scale, whether that be through drama, comedy, romance, and/or thrillers. Kris is passionate about using their creative work to support and advance the representation of marginalized groups.
