Born in Argentina, Florencia Krochik’s experiences as an immigrant in the US influenced and shaped her passion for directing inspirational cinema. She attended USC’s School of Cinematic Arts on a full scholarship and her thesis short film on undocumented youth won numerous awards including the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) Participant Media “Take Part” Earth Award for social justice. She has directed spots for the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking, One Day on Earth and action sports video campaigns for IMG. Her latest endeavor, Pathways, is an especially personal project as Krochik comes from a mixed-status immigrant family. Pathways has received support from the Sundance Institute, Women in Film, the Creative Visions Foundation and the National Association of Latino Independent Producers. Current directing projects include global video campaigns for Bear Grylls Ventures, the Color Run, the Escape Triathlon Series and a feature documentary film about deported US veterans.
