REFERENCES / TESTIMONIALS
"I worked with Christian as an effects artist on a number of projects both in school, and professionally, all of which were excellent experiences. Christian’s ability to express what he is looking for is exceptional, while at the same time he is eager to collaborate and find the best solutions to issues. As a Director he is very technically proficient and knows the in and outs of his job and most often other peoples as well, but his best asset is probably his attitude and calm under pressure, which always seemed to result in smooth, drama free work environments, even under craziest of schedules. Christian is a great leader and a valuable addition to any team; I would work with him again anytime."

“Christian Cisneros is an amazing director. He genuinely cares about everyone on his set and works with each actor and crew member to get the best performance possible from them. His easy-going manner and good humor always bring the best from everyone on the set. His direction is always straight-forward and easy to understand. He takes the time to make sure everyone understands his vision of the action and gets everyone working in the same direction very quickly and efficiently. If things go wrong, he patiently makes the fixes and carries on. He's always a gentleman and I've never seen him lose his temper or get angry with anyone on the set. I have worked for Christian as both actor and crew member and can highly recommend him as a director and as a friend. I'd be glad to work with him anytime, and am looking forward to our next project together.”

“Having worked side by side with Christian Cisneros on numerous projects since early 2005, I can honestly say that he is the type of director that both actors and crew members love to work with. Christian brings a work ethic to the table that is rarely seen in today’s industry and his lead by example ways have earned him the respect of cast and crew alike. He comes to the set prepared, with a thorough vision for what he wants to accomplish and a clear game plan for leading his crew to success.”

“Christian was referred to me via a mutual acquaintance in early 2008. I hired Christian's company after speaking with him briefly on the phone. His company provided a local web-video commerical for a client. The entire production was professional, timely, and provided excellent value. The client was very pleased and has requested additional services. I now solely use Christian's company as a film/video resource for all of my company's projects and am happy to provide this endorsement.”

“I've worked as an actor on two of Christian's film projects. Christian has a calm, assertive voice as a director on set, which enables a film shoot to proceed in a manner that is professional and reassuring at the same time. I have enjoyed working with him and would gladly do so again in the future.”

"I've had the great pleasure of working with Christian on many productions. He's thorough, polite, detail oriented, and not afraid to be assertive when needed, without ever coming off as pushy. He's a true professional, a dedicated team member, a resourceful asset, and a pleasure to work with. When I come across productions that are sinking, I urge them to tie up with Christian to get them back on track."

“Fabulous” is the first word that comes to mind when I think of the professional experience I had working with Christian and his company, TMI. Getting an offer to tape a talk show was so exciting for me – but I had a tight deadline to tape the premier show, which was not a problem for the crew. I loved their flexibility not only taping the show but also making sure that each segment was just right. My guests said that their calm demeanor really played a role in allowing them to relax in front of the camera. I highly recommend TMI for any media work one needs – they have the complete package with film, fabulous lighting, sound and editing. Anyone fortunate enough to work the Christian and his crew will be highly satisfied with the results.”

“I have had the opportunity to work with Christian on a number of film projects in the past and found him to be very focused without being abrasive. He is always willing to discuss and collaborate on all aspects of production. On set he always in a good mood, in fact i can't remember him ever yelling at anyone in anger or frustration. Though, you will definitely hear him yell "quiet on the set!" just before shooting. Christian is self educated and let me say quite brilliant in the way he can reference almost anything in film history from his years of running his own video store. I would highly recommend working with Christian on any project.”

“First, Christian is a very talented director and producer. His budgets are tight, he knows how to run a set and he is great with actors, no matter what level of experience a given actor may possess. Second, Christian has a sense of humor and a tolerance for others that makes him easy to be around. Lastly, Christian is a loyal person, as friend and an associate you cannot ask for more than that. A man of his word, and a person who knows that a good reputation is something you look after. I cannot add more to this except to say that I am proud to work with him.”
