This is a pic of me having the time of my life on set ;)

Whether writing, directing, producing, or all three, storytelling is my life. It all began with a Bachelor of Science in Radio, Television, and Film from the University of Texas and working freelance at several studios and production companies. The Overman, my senior thesis became my laureled professional short film debut and that same year I founded San Austin Productions. Since then I've worked with companies like Ferrari, UPS, IFC Channel, Facebook/Meta, Dole Fruit, and Ozarka. I work in both the commercial and narrative film spaces.

My feature film heist thriller NO LOSS // NO GAIN can be seen on most streamers. My sci-fi horror script Bleak Oblivion garnered several prizes at Emerging Screenwriters, ScreenCraft, and Big Apple Film Festival.

When not traveling and developing new projects, I suffer from coffee addiction, book hoarding, and Cinephilia.

Hi, there! Christian Rousseau here.
