April 22 General Membership Meeting, Installation and Program

“DISCOVERING FILM LOCATIONS: From The Little Rascals to Public Safety for Kids”

Multipurpose Room, Veteran’s Memorial Building,  7PM

Chris Bungo presents a unique program exploring many film locations where classic old-time films were shot in Culver City and Venice.  Chris shows us film clips from years gone by and the exact location as it is today.

Examples will include film clips from The Little Rascals, Laurel and Hardy, and TV series from the 1980’s.  This nostalgic trip will contrast the free-wheeling Little Rascals era with the safety-conscious attitudes of 1963 with a look at a public safety film.

We are also expecting a surprise guest who will relive her experience of being a child star.

This event is free to the public and we look forward to seeing you!

Chris BungoChris Grew up in New Jersey. During college he worked as a radio DJ, and for a few years after graduating college.

He Co-founded a software company with a friend from college who also worked in radio. Their company created and sold software for radio stations from 1992 until 2024 when they sold the company. 

In 2012 he had the idea to create Then and Now views at the  movie locations where they were filmed.  He began shooting exact matching photos and video of those locations as they look today.  As you might imagine, this required some amazing research, location scouting and detective work.  He developed clever editing techniques to illustrate and identify the spots where scenes were shot.

Now he devotes full time attention to  ChrisBungoStudios.com filming locations then and now historical website.  With now almost 150 videos and close to 2000 photos on his website
