What is a Primate Aflame?

When Chris was a sophomore at Redlands High School, he took Mr. Bibo’s Digital Dawgs class and had to come up with a name for his production company. Chris created his flaming-monkey super hero and called it Primate Aflame. That was his moniker ever since.

We'll never know what he could have come up with, but I bet it would weird and/or awesome!

"In My Own Words, Christopher Alan Long"

I could be trouble. Be cautious of my antics.

I can be really fun or I can be really lame. It all depends, I guess.

I'm really quiet until I get comfortable with people, then I'm crazy and really weird.

My heart is made of glass.

I dance all the time, so don't be alarmed.

My childhood was in the late 80's and early 90's. This is the best generation you could have possibly been a part of. I saw the rise of the computer and the death of the cassette tape. I remember when cell phones were ginormous and Ninja turtles reigned supreme.

I have a heterosexual life-mate by the name of Chris Tracey. CHRIS FO-EVA! (Repeatedly hits chest increasingly harder.)

Oh yeah, music and film are my life.

One of my favorite things in the world is "Coachella."

When I was in middle school, I made stop motion films with Stars Wars toys and sh!t that had Radiohead. Portishead and Bjork were used as sound tracks.

I have a passion for film - Lots of movies in every genre, lots of which I guarantee you've never heard of.

My favorite directors are Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Peter Jackson, Richard Kelly, Zack Braff and Michel Gondry.

I have a passion for music. Indie, Electonica, Trance, Electro, Drill N Bass, Various 90's Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Grind, Gore, Hardcore, Screamo, Emo, (not country, I hate f**king country.) Folk, Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Jazz, Classical, Big Band and combinations of the previously mentioned genres.

In general, I love music, film, midi keyboards, rain, forests, snow, beaches, Nintendo DS, "trees," Ableton Live, Reason, PhotoShop, photography, film production, horror,Radiohead, Coachella!

The books I've enjoyed are: The Lord of the Rings, The Shining, Enders Game, The Hobbit, The Doom Series, Eragon and Eldest, The Citizen of the Galaxy, Anne McCaffrey books about Pern, The Zombie Survival Guide, and Z War.

My heros: Dave Grohl - he's rad to the max, mainly because he's multi-instrumentalist. Chris Tracey - he's one of the best drummers in the world. Johnny Greenwood - he gives me a hard-on for being so f**king awesome. Jack Black - Also the sh!t, not the best actor, but he still rules your f**king face. COACHELLA

Who I'd like to meet - Daft Punk, Radiohead, Bob Marley, Richard D James (the aphex twin)

The 2018 Orange County Light the Night Walk is over, but the movement marches on!

You're amazing! We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you for making this year’s Light The Night such a success.

Your contributions make so many good things happen, including:

Research - As there are no means of preventing or early screening for most blood cancers, the LLS research agenda is focused on finding cures.

Patient Access - LLS is the leading source of free, highly specialized blood cancer information, education and support for patients, survivors, families and healthcare professionals.

Policy and Advocacy - LLS recognizes that finding cures is not enough; we need to ensure that patients have access to the treatments, services and providers they need to live longer, better, healthier lives.

About the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding research, finding cures and ensuring access to treatments for blood cancer patients.

Since 1949 LLS has been on the forefront of blood cancer advances such as chemotherapies and stem cell transplantation leading the way to the targeted therapies and immunotherapies that are saving thousands of lives today.

LLS is changing the landscape of cancer with more than 300 active research projects that explore different avenues of new and adventurous research; ones with promise and ones that will save lives not someday, but today.

Whenever we talk about cancer, we always use the same word. Someday. Someday there will be a cure. Someday we won’t lose the people we love. But when is someday? With LLS’s research partnerships and collaborations with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, patients support services and advocates working for blood cancer patients everywhere, someday is today.
