Krystal has a background in news writing and reporting, public relations, and international aid work whose experiences reflect the intersection of filmmaking, faith and culture through a global lens. Her work has taken her to Jamaica, Kenya, Spain, and, most recently to South Sudan where she produced short docs about women micro entrepreneurs.

Fellowship Project: Oh Happy Day! takes us on a song’s unlikely journey from a humble church basement to an international Billboard hit during the height of the civil rights era.
