Kristin T Higgins
Kristin Tegtmeier Higgins isn’t just some name rolling in the credits—she’s the brain and the guts behind River Place Productions. She’s one of those rare folks who can actually juggle producing, directing, and running her own shop, all while teaming up with other indie filmmakers and production houses. Kristin doesn’t just talk about making movies; she gets out there and does it, usually somewhere miles from the nearest coffee shop or cell tower. Her last two projects dragged her all the way to the backroads of rural California and the frosty wilds of Lapland, Finland. Not exactly your typical film school locations, right? But that’s her thing. She thrives on the weird, the wild, and the way-too-far-off-the-map places that most people would avoid just to keep their socks dry.
She’s not in it for the easy stories or the comfy sets. Kristin loves the sheer unpredictability of remote shoots—the logistics that never quite add up, the weather that refuses to cooperate, the little victories when a shot comes together against all odds. It’s chaos, but she eats that up. Ask anyone who’s worked with her, and they’ll tell you she’s got this knack for pulling people together, getting the best out of a mismatched crew, and somehow making the impossible look like it was always meant to be. Right now, she’s on the hunt for her next adventure. And honestly, you just know wherever she ends up, it won’t be boring.
