fieldnote

Cristóbal Ruiz draws deep inspiration from his childhood in southern Chile, where the pursuit of purpose was instilled in him from an early age and continues to shape his life and work.

After immigrating to Canada at 19, he built his practice around uncovering the essence of each subject and creating genuine human connections that translate authentically on screen. With extensive experience in remote and extreme environments, he brings a human-first approach to every production.

He co-founded Pachamama, a film production company rooted in the same multicultural values that define his story. As a commercial director, he creates high production value short films and branded documentaries grounded in real experiences, often exploring sport, adventure, and remote communities through stories of endurance and resilience.

His work has been awarded at Academy Award-qualifying festivals and appeared in international publications, global campaigns, and major VOD platforms.

As a native Spanish speaker, Cristóbal directs internationally.
