All of our experiences and sensations become memories of light.

My history has led to this moment. While I’m waiting, It reviews itself.

I’m still In recovery from a school for the over ambitious
But it’s no good pining about one’s past.
Productivity vs expectation is the work life balance.

What do you call a home filled with people that keep challenging each other to discover their potential?
A community.

I’ll admit I love being influenced by the people who trusted me with their work. The very fiber of my being, and the fabric of my life has been dedicated to supporting the vision of others; a gift which I have not taken for granted.

The most important thing I’ve shot for Network is about to launch and I’m waiting. In the meantime I’ve done nothing. I mean, I’ve worked, drawn a little, watched some shows, met friends, literally sat on my hands waiting.

The reality is after it goes up on YouTube, something else will go up too. In a month it’ll be under a bunch of other videos, a mix pile of cat videos, rap videos, and the 6 other types of videos.

But there is a part of me that writes and dreams everyday, that does good deeds and makes fair jokes, the one that wants to make that next meaningful 🎞️ project with You.
The one that builds bridges with the people who need hope.

If they can’t imagine it, they’ll say it can’t be done.
Announcement:
a Place between comfort and ambition; another place Film has brought me that I never dreamt of.
A community event.
Film has been a tunnel that has taken me to 14 countries and permeated my lifestyle, friends, vices, and loans, but I am grateful for the many pockets of light; earnest people and progressive projects, curious spirits who Communicated—whether we needed google translate or not, and had that same Will to use film to find their way out, to repurpose their narrative.

It started 9 years ago, making films with soldiers as therapy for PTSD with Patton Veterans Project.
When you give a person the tools and a safe place to workshop their trauma…you have no idea the energy that gets released, parts of us healed and got more inquisitive, some optimistic. We left those rooms after but we had expanded and couldn’t fit into our old containers.
We kept coming back and thru the pandemic we went digital.

I was a quiet voice. I was first paid to shoot in 2009 but it was in 2017 that work started finding it’s sense of purpose, less like a tech and more like I was being invited to be present at the birth. Two seasons at Comedy Central, operating on Alternatino for the potent @arturocastrop I learned how with devotion and wit you could do it, make a project for love of community with substance, style, and commentary and you could make everyone involved feel welcome in it.

This is not a trauma workshop.
This is for Operations and Interpretation.
This is about the Wonder and the Context.

Some formative moments not covered:

the UN with posses/swagger of a hundred world leaders, chasing Comedians in Cars through NYC streets, neon portraits in the Brooklyn studio, Spike Jonze, Free Meek, and Sesame Street.. IG has the rest of the exposition…

Thru the incredible support of @panavisionofficial and @cinema_sala We will focus, operate, chill, shoot a scene and will examine How things fail and How to Improve with top of the line gear in a very special place so that you’re Ready when you find the film that needs you.

We welcome you.

See more at chrisungco.com

When you start working, everybody is in your studio- the past, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas- all are there. But as you continue painting, they start leaving, one by one, and you are left completely alone. Then, if you are lucky, even you leave.

To leaving our past baggage behind and keeping it fresh in 2022. Happy New Year!
