Christian Robins

As Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer at 11 Dollar Bill, I’ve spent over 25 years pushing the boundaries of post-production and creative innovation. I’ve had the opportunity to speak in CU Boulder classes, host mentoring events, and offer internships through our partnership with CU. My focus is on combining emerging technologies like AI with traditional workflows to enhance creativity, collaboration, and storytelling. I’m passionate about guiding the next generation of creative talent and helping them develop the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving industry.

My advice to students...

The best advice I can give is to stay adaptable and embrace curiosity. The creative industry is always evolving, so you need to be open to learning constantly. Also, find a way to blend your passion with practicality. Focus
on your craft, but also build relationships and learn how to collaborate effectively. Lastly, don’t be afraid to fail. Some of the best ideas come from trying something that didn’t work the first time.
