The Leading Professional in School Theatrical Distribution (EXCLUSIVE) Interview with Cristina Liberatore

-Who is Cristina Liberatore?

Cristina Liberatore is a passionate and versatile professional in theater and film, dedicated to bridging the gap between art and education. With over twenty years of experience, she founded a theater production and distribution company focused on the educational sector. Her eclectic background, encompassing skills in strategic planning, sales, and organization, has allowed her to bring high-quality performances to theaters across Italy, aiming to inspire young audiences and foster a love for theater.

-How did your career in the entertainment world begin?

My professional journey has been driven by a deep passion for storytelling and a desire to make the arts accessible, especially to younger generations. About 20 years ago, I transitioned from a career as a marketing manager in the United States, where I worked in the construction, real estate, and candy industries. These diverse experiences provided me with essential skills in strategic planning, sales, and organization, which I later applied to the theater world. Being an eclectic person, I’ve always enjoyed exploring different professional paths, and this adaptability helped me find my place in the theater industry. I founded my own theater production and distribution company, with a focus primarily on the educational sector. Over time, in addition to distributing my own productions, I began collaborating with other theater companies, bringing performances in both Italian and English to the stage. The most rewarding part of this work has been bridging the gap between art and education, offering performances that inspire young audiences and promote a love for theater. I firmly believe that our work is essential for shaping the future, helping young people understand the value of culture and the beauty of the performing arts.

-If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?

I would create a world where access to education and culture is universal. I believe that art and knowledge have the power to shape more empathetic, open-minded, and creative societies, and that every child should have the opportunity to experience this transformative force.

-Do you think that artists today have the freedom to express themselves?

Freedom of expression for artists is a complex issue. While we have more platforms and tools than ever, the pressure from social, political, and economic forces often hinders true creativity. It is essential for society to protect and celebrate the authenticity of artists, allowing them to challenge conventions and inspire change without fear of censorship.

-What do you think of WILD FILMMAKER?

WILD FILMMAKER stands out for its bold and innovative vision, celebrating the expressive freedom of independent cinema. With a provocative approach, it stimulates deep reflection on new forms of storytelling and the evolution of cinematic language, fully reflecting the dynamics of the contemporary context. It offers fresh perspectives, valuing raw and authentic creativity without filters. What makes Wild Filmmaker particularly commendable is its commitment to giving a voice to stories that would otherwise remain unheard, providing a platform for unconventional narratives.
