Kristen Erwin

Kristen Erwin is the Executive Director for the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission, where she began working as an intern in 1997. Kristen is a graduate of Miami University and currently resides in Anderson Township with her husband, Mike Schlotman. 

Kristen has a pretty cool job - interacting with movie studios, independent film and music company directors and executives to extol the virtues of shooting their movies, TV shows, and music videos in the Cincinnati metro area.  Plus, she gets to scout the area looking for unique neighborhoods and homes that might serve as shooting locations, and knows the nooks and crannies of this town better than most. Kristen sees the City as no one else, as a back lot for filming.

In her eighth year as the Executive Director of the Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky Film Commission, Kristen has the distinction of running one of the oldest nonprofit film commissions in the country, and she is only the second person to hold the position since the commission was founded in 1987. She has helped with the passing of incentives on both sides of the River that will change the production landscape in years to come, bringing even more jobs and dollars to the area. She was recently appointed to the Film Commission Board of Kentucky by Governor Beshear, and sits on the Downtown Council Steering Committee, Communications Alliance, and is actively involved in re-introducing the local business community to the local production community.
