BOOK CHRISTINE

Media Director

Christine Casado started making movies at age ten when her parents gave her a camera for Christmas, and continued into adulthood as the entrepreneurial proprietor of Casado Events. She innovated Little FilmMakers at an East Harlem charter school from 2011 – 2013, and joined the Thrive Collective team as a freelance film maker in 2014 before becoming our media director in 2015. Since introducing her Little FilmMakers curriculum to eleven elementary school classes in Brooklyn, Thrive’s School Media programs have expanded citywide. Enjoy our growing collection of student films here.

On holding a camera for the first time:

It was like gold in my hand, a very magical moment.

Watch Christine introduce Little FilmMakers, from its earliest iteration in the hands of a ten year old who received a camera for Christmas, to a pilot program in East Harlem, and now accredited curriculum in Brooklyn.
