Cristiana DiPietro is a veteran producer with over two decades of experience in film, television, and live events. Her work spans independent features, unscripted series, and documentaries—including the internationally coordinated Neptune’s Navy, which follows the oceanic conservation efforts of acclaimed activist Paul Watson (Whale Wars), and the cult-favorite The Man Who Sees UFOs featuring Christo Roppolo. She also produced Operation Belvis Bash starring Corey Feldman and Mark Metcalf, along with psychological thrillers The Grinn, Die, My Dear, and S.O.L. for Emberlight Productions.
A classically trained Russian ballet dancer turned stage actress, Cristiana began her entertainment career under Kira Ivanovsky and performed on stages across California. She transitioned to behind the camera after working in development at First Miracle Pictures and on ABC’s The Bachelorette. Today, she serves as Head of Production and Vice President at Filmcopia Productions.
Cristiana is the co-founder and festival director of the international Monarch Film Festival and a twice-published author of a metaphysical fiction series exploring the lost city of Atlantis. With a BA in Cultural Anthropology, she brings a unique ethnographic perspective to every project, fusing storytelling with cultural insight to explore identity, belief, and the evolving human experience.
