Cristian Ruben
President-CEO
Cristian Ruben’s mission is to shine a spotlight on rescuers in the trenches — those who are directly involved in saving and rehabilitating cats and dogs. He produces documentaries ranging from 15 minutes to one hour, capturing the dedication, hard work, and emotional journeys of these rescuers.
Once completed, Cristian shares each documentary directly with the rescuers, who can then use the film to fundraise and support their own mission or nonprofit.
Cristian’s dream is to film in all 50 states, producing one-hour documentaries in each, ensuring that the stories of rescuers nationwide are told in depth. This is his prime focus and what he is determined to accomplish.
He is also the creator of Not Enough of Us, a mission highlighting the urgent gaps in animal rescue: not enough rescuers, not enough adopters, not enough volunteers, and not enough fosters. Through this mission, Cristian raises awareness of these critical issues while securing sponsorships and donors that allow him to continue providing documentaries to rescuers across the country, amplifying their work and helping them achieve their own goals.

Her commitment to saving dogs goes far beyond words—she never gives up, no matter how difficult the situation, and her drive is unlike anyone I’ve ever filmed. Lauren leads with heart, action, and an unshakable belief that every dog deserves a chance at life.
Her dedication, compassion, and hands-on work in the trenches of rescue embody everything iFilm Heroes stands for. I am deeply grateful to have Lauren Stewart serving as the Executive Vice President of iFilm Heroes, where her leadership, integrity, and passion continue to inspire rescuers and supporters across the country.
