Be You Fest
Immersive Creative Festival with eres.
Be You Fest was one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever led.
eres. set out to build more than a showcase— we wanted to create a place where creatives could feel seen, celebrated, and supported. This festival was that space—a love letter to our community and a home for healing, expression, and shared joy.
As Executive Producer, Creative Director, and Production Manager, I guided the full creative execution. BronxNet Studios became a living, curated ecosystem—complete with neon-lit and floral entryways, interactive projection installations, local Bronx vendor activations, short film screenings by filmmakers of color, scented room escapes, and thoughtfully crafted panels, workshops, and hands-on creative labs- to allow creativity to unfold naturally.
Each person who left gathered a new contact, a new idea, or even a new purpose for interpreting our journey through storytelling.
According to 1202 Magazine, “The Fest’s overall intent couldn’t be clearer. The resignation of creating without each other isn’t possible, and when in search, we reach for one another. In that moment of synchronicity, the magic happens.” Read more →
"What I admire most about Christine is her willingness to step into spaces she hasn’t yet fully immersed herself in, embracing the discomfort, and choosing to learn along the way."

Be You Fest wasn’t just a moment—it was a movement. And I’m proud to have crafted a space that affirmed creativity, community, and belonging.
And this is just the beginning.
Be You Fest was born out of love for our creative community—and this inaugural experience proved just how needed and powerful that space truly is. We’re excited to expand this vision, deepen the work, and build even more opportunities for creatives to connect, grow, and thrive. The future of Be You Fest is already in motion—and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.

"I wholeheartedly believe that’s what makes a true leader: someone willing to enter the uncomfortable, ask why it feels that way, and stay long enough to grow through it. Christine doesn’t back away, she bulldozes right in."
Be You Fest was the prime example of Christine's leadership skills. Christine’s listening and communication skills throughout the entire production were truly admirable. She has a unique ability to hold her ground, even in moments of uncertainty. She moved through every space with curiosity, remained inquisitive through each stage, and found solutions to the best of her ability.
