    Cristo Fernández Facts

  • A passionate soccer fan since childhood, Cristo became a part of a major local club called Tecos F.C. when he was just about 15 years old. However, a severe knee injury abruptly ended his career as a professional soccer player.

The company won the ‘Best Short Film’ award at the 2018 edition of Premios Latino – a prestigious event that aims to promote the Ibero-American (a region in the Americas comprising countries or territories where Spanish or Portuguese are predominant languages) culture of film and music.
