Biography:
Chris Noon is an award-winning filmmaker and photographer based in Chicago, originally from Placentia, California. He holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and previously studied photography at Santa Monica College. His early artistic practice was heavily informed by the erotic and transgressive visual language of artists like Robert Mapplethorpe, Fred Halsted, and Francis Bacon—figures who continue to shape his approach to intimacy and the body in his work.
Since relocating to Chicago, his practice has evolved from still photography into narrative and experimental filmmaking, drawing influence from Lacanian psychoanalytic theory and queer aesthetics. His work explores the intersections of cinema, psychoanalysis, and homoeroticism through tightly composed visual language and emotionally charged, often confrontational narratives. His latest short film Punisher is a culmination of these interests: an autofictional exploration of trauma, role-play, and desire.You can contact me by emailing me at "chrisqnoon@gmail.com", or messaging me through my instagram, @meatsound.
