Originally from Argentina, director Florencia Krochik’s past work has been supported by the Sundance Institute, Women in Film, Film Independent, NALIP and the Creative Visions Foundation. Florencia has tied her personal experiences as an immigrant into her career as a filmmaker, bringing personal human stories to life, both to raise awareness and activate change. Her first feature documentary film, THE REST OF US, followed the lives of a group of undocumented youth over an eight year period and was the Closing Night Film at the Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival where it also won “Best Picture”. Florencia recently completed her sophomore documentary feature, also on the topic of immigration, SANCTUARY RISING, which has been supported in part by the Berkeley Film Foundation, Mountainfim and the Gotham Film & Media Institute. She is now in pre-production on her third documentary feature film, NOBODY, a continued dive into the dark world of the broken US immigration system. For the past decade, Florencia has directed world-renowned livestream broadcasts and branded content in the Action Sports sector for prolific properties with Bear Grylls, Tough Mudder and the US Open of Surfing. In addition to her work in Sports, she has directed commercials and digital shorts focusing on the stories of underrepresented communities, including campaigns for Doordash, Target and Ebay. Florencia was recently hired by Oak Leaf Productions for a Core TV commissioned docu-style series about female professional athletes and the specific struggles that women face on their journey to rebound from their injuries. The Series features world-renowned physical therapist Drew Morcos, and professional soccer players Katie Johnson & Janelly Farias.
