Catrin Media Company is a full-service creative film production company inspired by the spirit of the Catrin, a vibrant Mexican cultural symbol. Our name hails from a symbol of universal truth: beneath our exterior differences, we all share a common essence. Like Catrin's depiction of the skeletal form, we emphasize that at our core, we are all beautifully the same, reminding us of the essential unity and shared humanity that binds us together. This ethos transcends into our work, where we believe that every product, brand, and individual, has a unique story waiting to be shared.
Diego Katzakian, our founder and director, is a student at UC Berkeley and has over six years of experience creating dynamic content, directing music videos, producing narrative short films, and capturing the allure of influential social media personalities internationally. Our body of work includes successful collaborations with The Ugly Boys, Ezra Hapner, The Speedwalker Band, Mau Otero, SoyTuAlex, and Maria Malibran, reaching an audience of over 16 million followers combined.
We stand out from the crowd by focusing on the unique cultures and stories that surround our clients, rather than merely showcasing a product or service. Our approach is all about revealing the hidden stories and underlying truths within every culture, showcasing the beauty in the diversity of our human experience. This approach does more than generate attention—it creates a connection between the brand and its audience, driving engagement and loyalty that ultimately leads to increased profitability.
Our mission is to seek out and illuminate these unique narratives, sharing them for the world to appreciate. We are committed to amplifying the voices and experiences that make our global community so wonderfully diverse, providing a platform for stories that connect, inspire, and remind us of our shared humanity. With us, your brand becomes more than a name—it becomes a story, a movement, and a memorable experience that attracts and retains customers.
As we look to the future, our vision is to grow Catrin Media Company into a large-scale production company dedicated to discovering the untold stories that lie at the heart of every community, every brand, and every individual. We traverse the globe in search of these narratives, using the universal language of film to unite, inspire, and celebrate our shared human experience.
