In 2005 Mungia co-wrote and directed The Crow: Wicked Prayer for Dimension Films. The film starred Edward Furlong, David Boreanaz, Dennis Hopper, Danny Trejo and Macy Gray.

Mungia also wrote and directed the multiple award winning short film Garden For Rio. Garden For Rio was produced at Loyola Marymount University, Lance's film school at the time.

Mungia has also directed multiple music videos, including "She's So High" by Tal Bachman, Citizen King, The Mavericks and many others.
