Kristin Windell is a television director with a passion for character-driven storytelling and a keen eye for detail. She has directed a wide variety of television genres, including action, drama, procedural, sci-fi, superhero, family, and comedy. Her directing credits include Criminal Minds: Evolution, Found, The Hunting Party, Quantum Leap, Kung Fu, All American, Secrets of Sulphur Springs, Doom Patrol, Magnum P.I., and Hawaii Five-0, among others.
Windell also directed Better Than Yesterday, her first feature documentary, bringing her cinematic storytelling approach to the nonfiction space.
Before stepping behind the camera, Windell spent more than a decade as a series editor, crafting stories across an equally diverse range of television genres. Those years in the cutting room gave her a deep understanding of story structure, pacing, visual language, and performance, all of which continue to shape her approach as a director.
Windell was honored to be selected for the prestigious Warner Bros. Directors’ Workshop, an experience that helped launch her directing career. She is also a mentee in the 2026 Directors Guild of America’s DDI Program, where she continues to develop her craft and contribute to the next generation of television and film directing.
