From the young age of 16, Christian B. Meza began an early career in space studies as a research intern with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. A few months later, Meza entered the National Space Society as president of his local chapter, making him one of the youngest NSS chapter presidents in history. With the National Space Society as a lamplight, he expanded his career in aerospace technology, became a contracted specialist pilot, and has worked directly with companies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and more. In his continuing research, Christian expanded on the effects of gauge bosons and leptons in exotic conditions, discovering how the identity of gravity’s role in the Aharonov–Bohm effect works and what lunar isotopic evolution tells us more of where our planetary origins began.

In pursuit of his filmic art dreams, Meza started a small video production company, Christian Meza Media, at age 17. With the creation of his high-end commercial film production company, Exothermic Films, has been a part of over 60 different short films, movies, and other visual productions. His clientele includes Amazon, Cirque du Soleil, Ferrari, Red Bull, National Geographic Creative and his work can even be seen on streaming networks including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Paramount+ and Discovery. Meza has earned over 40 internationally recognized motion picture awards as a cinematographer, director, editor, colorist, and earned an Emmy nomination for his directorial work in 2022.
