National Cristina Foundation

Co-founded by David Bruce McMahan and Yvette Marrin, The National Cristina Foundation (NCF) supplies computer technology and training to people with disabilities, students at risk, and economically disadvantaged persons. It provides them the opportunities to lead more independent and productive lives.

Support for 9-11 Families of Policemen and Firefighters

The National Cristina Foundation worked with the Silver Shield Foundation to aid families who had been affected by the tragedy of 9-11 and who also had children with a disability. The goal was to help ensure that the death of a parent does not mean the end of educational opportunity for their children.

Wounded Warrior Project

In recognition of the veterans who put themselves in harms way for our nation’s freedom, the National Cristina Foundation has since 2008 engaged in an initiative that helps organizations receive technology support to assist wounded warriors to deal with the challenges of transition to civilian life.

I'm so proud to have been the person who inspired the National Cristina Foundation. Helping so many people has made me feel wonderful.

Editing a film requires working for a long time in isolation, and you lose your objectivity.

When the program was in danger of disappearing because there was no one to run it I took over, because this is something independent filmmakers have to have.

hole, I am driving solo. The road ahead is on fire courtesy of the
Maoist rebels staring blankly in my direction. Only one way to go and
that way is not backwards.
