About

Kansas City born and a converted Californian, Chris Metzler's film career has taken him to some strange places as he has pursued making subculture documentaries on subjects as far ranging as rogue economists, lucha libre wrestlers, swamp rat hunters, ganja-preneurs, Black punk rockers, and evangelical Christian surfers. His award winning films include: PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA, EVERYDAY SUNSHINE: THE STORY OF FISHBONE, RODENTS OF UNUSUAL SIZE and JACK HAS A PLAN. He also serves as the Director of Programming for two irreverent, San Francisco based film festivals, SF DocFest and SF IndieFest.
