Making a better product requires finding out what the good and great men have done before you, in your particular line of work. A belief Kris A Wright strives to maintain while keeping an open mind. Always working to improve his craft, Kris learned early on to study his two older brothers, Kirk and Kerry, who he deemed immensely creative, to find out how they attained their source of ideas for storytelling and movie making. Making movies became a past time they grew passionate about the day his parents, Rod and Carole Wright, came home with a brand new video camera. As teenagers, Kris and his brothers learned how to use that camera to apply their creative knack for story telling using the powerful medium of movie making. Out of those experiences, and the many films they made, that Kris decided he would strive to make a career in film making.
After serving on Active Duty in the U.S. Army for several years, Kris attended college at Southern Illinois University. There he enrolled in their film school and learned the basics of the craft. After he graduated from college in 2003, he decided the next logical step in progressing in his career would be to join his brother, Kerry, in Los Angeles to live and learn the various aspects of the business. From 2004 through 2012, Kris learned that to find the best way to approach and maintain a career in the industry would be to try working in various production jobs within the business, which he did. From Camera tech, to Camera Operator and to Locations, Kris tried his hand and learned how productions work.
In 2005. Kris teamed up with Director Hector H. Kron to shoot his first feature film, "Hollywood Unscripted, A Chaos Theory." They eventually sold the film to Wal-Mart for $70,000, as part of a film package deal to the mega-store chain.
In 2007, Kris and his brother Kerry informally formed their future company, Wright Brothers Pictures. It was at that time they produced and shot their first film together, a film documentary called "Press 1 For English." The social awareness film about America's Immigration system went on to win 3 film festival awards, including best "Social Awareness Documentary" at the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival.
In 2011 Kris decided to take a break from the film business to pursue another career he wanted to try. So he moved to San Diego and eventually joined the San Diego Police Department in 2012 and became a police officer. While living in San Diego, and after a 10 year break from the Army, he re-enlisted in the Army Reserve as a public affairs officer. To date, he has served 14 years in the U.S. Army.
Between 2012 and 2013, Kris teamed back up with his Wright Brothers Pictures co-founder, Kerry, to produce and film their second documentary feature "Heroes Don't Wear Capes." The docu-drama featured 5 people who went above and beyond, when life called upon them, to engage in acts of heroism. The film went on to receive official selection in two film festivals.
In 2015, Kris left the San Diego Police Department and moved back to Los Angeles with an invigorated sense of being a film maker again. In his years away, and through his life experiences up to the time, Kris learned to understand that he wanted to resume work in his film career as a writer and producer. In late 2015, Kris and his brother Kerry began compiling over 10 years of notes on an idea for a show that would later become the beach comedy "It's A Beach Thing." They began production for the show in the summer of 2016, when they shot the pilot episode. In 2017 they continued to develop, write and shoot the first season since. Wright Brothers Pictures is set to initially begin releasing episodes of "It's A Beach Thing" on You Tube in mid-September 2017.
