Biography

Chris was born in Queensland, Australia in 1975. He was named after "Christopher Lee" who played Dracula, so horror was destined in his blood from an early age. However it wasn't until in his thirties that Chris decided to write and direct horror films.

His first experience as a film writer, producer and director was his debut feature "Come and Get Me" in 2010 (Distributed by "Camp Motion Pictures USA"). But it was in 2012, that his second feature film, "Daddy's Little Girl" (Distributed by "Eagle Entertainment Australia", "Breaking Glass Pictures USA", Alamode Film Distribution Germany* and others) sent ripples throughout the independent film industry in Australia and made waves internationally.

Charlie's Farm, Chris' 3rd feature film, secured "Shoreline Entertainment" as the sales agent selling Charlie's farm all over the globe and playing in over 25 film festivals around the world. Shoreline were so impressed with Chris Sun and his films that they signed on to manage Chris and still manage him today.

Where most horror filmmakers struggle with practical special effects, Chris excels adding more production value to his projects by drawing on his extensive Special FX artist skill set. No wonder Chris is fast becoming "the master of horror" in Australia.

After Charlie's Farm was released Chris although having never read a book in his life, wrote his first novel "ED". Ed is published by Source Point Press out of the USA and already sold over 3,000 hard copies in Australia alone.

In 2018 Chris completed his 4th feature film "BOAR". Boar is a story of a monster pig the size of a mini van who rampages through the Australian outback destroying anything and killing anyone is his path. With the success of Charlie's Farm internationally Universal Pictures Australia were quick to secure the Australian Distribution rights for BOAR with AMC/Shudder taking the rights in the USA, placing BOAR on billboards and taxi cabs throughout New York and the USA. BOAR went on to become the 5th best selling horror film in Australia for 2018 and has secured distribution deals all over the world.

In 2021 we saw Chris team up with Nexus Files to complete his 5th feature film called, The Possessed. The Possessed is inspired by actual events and is releasing in Australia in 2022.

Chris is currently working on his next screenplay, whatever it is we know it will be exciting and will carry lots of his trade mark..... Practical FX.
