Christopher Wong has established himself as a composer of choice among the rising generation of Asian American film directors. While attending UCLA, he studied music theory under Roger Bourland and composition under Paul Reale. Christopher's interest in film music began late in college when he was selected by the music department to study privately under Academy Award winner Jerry Goldsmith. Influential to his early career was his score for Ham Tran's UCLA thesis film The Anniversary, which won Best Short Film at twenty-five international film festivals and was a semi-finalist for the 2004 Academy Awards. This led to scoring assignments on feature films First Morning and Spirits by director Victor Vu. Ham Tran and Christopher Wong collaborated again for Tran's debut feature film, Journey from the Fall. The film received standing ovations at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, while the score was hailed as "evocative" (Los Angeles Times) and "monumental" (New York Times). In early 2007, Christopher worked on Charlie Nguyen's action feature The Rebel, which will be distributed by The Weinstein Company. Christopher is active not only in film but also in theater and the concert hall. The UC Irvine Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of maestro Stephen Tucker, performed his composition for full orchestra, Local Motion. Christopher is currently developing a new musical theater production with long time collaborator Weiko Lin, an Academy of Motion Pictures Nicholl Fellowship finalist. Christopher resides in West Los Angeles with his wife Holley.
