Crystal Moselle, originally from The Bay Area, moved to New York in 1998 to pursue her film degree at The School of Visual Arts. While obtaining her BFA, she assisted in the production of short documentary pieces for Pseudo.com with award-winning filmmaker Ondi Timoner (Dig). She also collaborated with William Kirkley on "Excavating Taylor Mead," which became an official selection at the Tribeca Film Festival and The Whitney Biennial. This critically acclaimed documentary garnered recognition and praise from such respected publications as the "Top 40 picks of the Tribeca Film Festival" in The Village Voice, "top pick" from The New York Times, and Art Forum's "Top Ten Films of 2005."

Since earning her BFA, Crystal has directed a number of branded-content pieces for various clients including, but not limited to: Levis, Diesel, Converse, Aquafina, and Microsoft. Realizing her unique style and approach were attractive to the commercial world, she applied to and was accepted by Group101Spots, a challenging network of creative professionals, through which she perfected her reel.

Over the past year, Crystal has produced and directed segments for VBS.tv (Spike Jonze's online venture with MTV and Vice Magazine), including her latest piece, "Bay Area's Rap Daddy," which pays homage to her 53-year-old father who produces hip-hop for kids in jail. Most recently, Crystal teamed up with designer Catherine Fulmer to create the short film "The Day Off," which was featured in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2007. Crystal Moselle's work has been highlighted in various popular magazines and publications, including Time Out New York, NY Post's Page Six, Frank151, the NY Observer, and Oyster magazine.
