Hi, I’m Chrisna — a Brand Filmmaker, Creative Director, and Producer passionate about telling stories that inspire connection.

I founded my first studio, CC Media Co., back in 2013. After a decade of producing video and strategy for clients across industries, I rebranded to The Halo-Halo Studio™ in 2025 to better reflect my creative vision, cultural identity, and love for cinematic storytelling.

So why Halo-Halo?
In Filipino culture, halo-halo is a vibrant dessert made of many colorful, layered ingredients. It’s sweet, refreshing, and unexpected — every bite is a mix of flavors and textures that come together beautifully. That spirit inspired my studio’s name. Like the dessert, The Halo-Halo Studio represents a mix of influences, stories, and aesthetics — all layered into videos that are bold, diverse, and visually delicious.

Today, I work with fashion, beauty, lifestyle, hospitality, and fitness brands to produce everything from editorial films and commercials to DTC content, branded campaigns, and social-first video.

What sets me apart? I’m not just a Creative Director overseeing vision — I’m a hands-on filmmaker and producer. From concept and storyboarding to directing, shooting, and editing, I’m actively involved in every stage of production. My background as a brand marketing director means I bring strategy and storytelling together for content that both looks amazing and works for your business.

A few highlights along the way:

• Producing campaigns for streaming, fashion, and lifestyle brands

• Directing commercials, fashion films, beauty content, and DTC campaigns

• Receiving Platinum & Gold MarCom Awards for creative excellence

• Helping brands grow nationally with video marketing recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine.

As a Filipino-American creative in the Midwest, I love blending culture, heritage, and editorial aesthetics into modern storytelling.When I’m not on set, you’ll find me at the gym, traveling, catching live music, or spending time in Omaha with my husband and daughter.
