About Christopher Largen
Christopher Jon Largen was an American journalist, author, filmmaker, and social satirist. He was known for his work on health, public policy, and his activism against child abuse, and his contributions to independent media and documentary films. In June 2007, Largen arrived at Fry Street, hoping to obtain demolition process shots, when he discovered activists had seized the gutted building that housed The Tomato Pizza. He was subsequently awarded a full drama scholarship at Texas Wesleyan University, which he declined in order to pursue interdisciplinary humanities studies at the University of North Texas in Denton. The completed film, The Burning of Fry Street, won the Jury Award for "Best Documentary Short" at Thin Line Film Festival. Denton Record-Chronicle did not report the incident, for fear of inspiring copycat attacks.
