Lance Mungia

BIOGRAPHIE

Lance Mungia grew up working in the fields of California's Central Valley. Inspired by his combination of Mexican, Spanish & Oakie heritage, he started documenting the immigrant experience in 16mm short films including “Garden For Rio,” featured at Sundance in 1996. Lance is the writer/producer/director of Dimension Films "The Crow: Wicked Prayer," Media 1091's "Third Eye Spies," and his debut 1998 feature "Six String Samurai," just re-released in 2021, called a "startlingly visual work by a tyro-talent" by Variety's Len Klady. Lance also wrote, edited, and produced "The Phenomenon," the highest grossing UFO documentary of all time. He has won awards at international festivals including Slamdance, Toronto, Chicago, The Hamptons, and South by Southwest. Alongside his partner, Cristina Mercardo, Lance co-founded the production company Waking Universe Films which focuses on real-time virtual production. He strongly believes real time animation technology is the most exciting thing to come along in his 26-year filmmaking history.
