Christopher Elwin Fuller (born October 8, 1982) is an American film director, writer, producer, editor, actor and entrepreneur from St. Petersburg, Florida. His films have been compared to the early, avant-garde works of Gus Van Sant,Harmony Korine and Robert Bresson, though his peers consider him a rarity in that his films are entirely unique.
In 2006, he released Loren Cass, which he wrote, directed, produced and starred in under the name Lewis Brogan. The film is set against the backdrop of the St. Petersburg, Florida riots of 1996. The film was written at the age of 15 and filmed in 2004 at the age of 21, making Fuller one of the youngest professional feature filmmakers in history. The movie was released theatrically and on DVD in 2009 by Kino International. The film played in competition at Dennis Hopper's CineVegas Film Festival, the Filmmakers of the Present section of the Locarno International Film Festival and the Museum of Modern Art.
In 2016, he filmed Surpassing All Other Kings, which he also wrote and directed, slated for a 2017 release and starring himself, Bob Devin Jones and Canadian singer/songwriter Sierra Noble.
Fuller graduated from the Canterbury School of Florida in 2001 and dropped out of the University of Central Florida after 2 years to make Loren Cass after being denied entry into the University's film program. He is known for having educated himself on the history of cinema and filmmaking through public library collections.
Fuller founded Jonesing Pictures in 2002 and gourmet food company The Meatman in 2008. The Meatman was featured in the December 2008 issue of Playboy magazine.
