Inspired by the greats of the Renaissance, Kris Valeriano founded BUSH JUMPING as an artist collective hub for multi-genre creatives to collaborate in film and music competitions.
Over the last decade, Kris has competed as Director, Cinematographer and Editor in film competitions, and also as a Lyricist, Vocalist, and Songwriter in music competitions under a band of the same name, Bush Jumping. Having been a visual artist and creative since childhood, he honed his talents through the challenges 35mm film brings, before turning his lens to digital storytelling as a dynamic filmmaker as a creative professional and videographer. Also a shaman, martial artist, dancer, and arts advocate, he combines the various genres and mediums in his quest to collect knowledge and archive experiences capable of inspiring current and future generations.
