In 2005, Christopher Michael Roybal founded Incredible Films.
I am a proud Hispano visual artist and native New Mexican born and raised in El Valle de Arroyo Seco. My relationship to art in its many forms began in my youth and helped me excel at St. Michael's High School and the University of Southern California, where I discovered my passion for filmmaking and founded Incredible Films.
I have had quite an enlightening journey as a working artist, and I am grateful to everyone who has contributed to my many projects. Now, 18 years after creating my first film, my work has been enjoyed by millions of people around the world and has earned me commissions by major international and local companies and organizations.
Most importantly to me, my work is regularly at the center of philanthropic events and has helped to raise considerable funds for deserving causes. And for years I have also worked with youth to encourage and empower the next generation of storytellers and advocates.
In addition to my film and photography work, I have published seven books, and I am in the process of developing my new design studio, DNGR!, through which I will share my expanding design and artistic output.
I have been abundantly blessed, and I give all praise to God for any good that resides in me. My faith plays the most significant role in my life, and I try to honor God by infusing my endeavors with love.
I turned 40 in 2023 and decided to make a list of my Top 40 Films of all time. (I’ve seen 2700+ and counting…)
