She was an indie filmmaker before getting a job as camera operator on Yellowstone – she’s also working on its sequel, The Dutton Ranch

Created by the brains behind Yellowstone and Landman, The Madison is Taylor Sheridan’s latest neo-Western drama. The show premiered on Paramount+ on March 14 and follows the wealthy Manhattanite Clyburn family as they navigate the loss of a family member and adjust to a new life in Montana.

Here’s everything you need to know about Christina Alexandra Voros.

Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Voros never planned to sit in the director’s chair – her first love was theatre. She studied English at Harvard University and had hopes of becoming an actress, per Glamour. She had already landed a graduate programme in theatre, so when a friend suggested to that she apply for film school, she was doubtful that she would succeed.

“It seemed crazy because I was not a technical person, nor did I fancy myself as someone who had a need to make decisions,” Voros told the magazine.

The now-director applied to study film at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts anyway and landed a fellowship. She soon fell in love with filmmaking – and has never looked back.

She is known for indie films
