Stanley from early childhood adored cinema, one of the most vivid memories of his young years - family evening movie screenings in a house in San Francisco. At the age of six, the boy first saw the classic of world cinema - "The Godfather", shots in which Robert De Niro pulls the trigger of a pistol in the guy's mouth, still stand before Jung's eyes. Fascinating sounds and a flickering image of the screen in the complete darkness of the cinema, enveloping the viewer - the magic of visual art, that feeling that attracted Stanley, sensations that have been dear since childhood. Although, while still in high school, Stanley did not think about cinema as a further field of activity. And only then did Jung realize his calling. He received his specialized education at the UCLA Film School at the University of California. Stanley's graduation work was WORLD OF LONGING, which was screened at the Hawaii Film Festival and the Asian American International Film Festival.
After graduation, Stanley worked at Concorde / New Horizons, where he taught at Roger Corman's Film School. Following the example of his idols, film classics Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, Jung worked behind the scenes in the production of B films. The path from production assistant to director took Stanley 18 months, after which in 2013 Jung's first independent film "Chink" was released on the screens, which premiered on May 4.
