Her most recent short film ÁGUILAS was short-listed for the 2022 Academy Awards. Kristy has been making award-winning documentary films that focus on gender and representation for over two decades. Her debut feature, GOING ON 13 (co-directed with Dawn Valadez, 2009), covering four years in the lives of four adolescent girls premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was broadcast on PBS. Her follow-up feature, WONDER WOMEN! THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICAN SUPERHEROINES (2013), traces the evolution of the comic book hero Wonder Woman as a way to reflect on society’s anxieties about women’s liberation.
