About me
Charlie makes films for audiences to feel things deeply, through bold, visual storytelling, creating a visceral experience that over time leads to questions. At the moment, the actor/filmmaker is in the process of developing his second feature film, Jewel, to explore notions of power in an unequal and disintegrating society. At the same time, Charlie is continuing to make a series of short films to experiment with these ideas in different formats. Other than filmmaking, Charlie is a graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Since leaving Drama School Charlie has performed with Punchdrunk, Gardzienice, and in plays at the Gate Theatre, La Mama theatre in New York and Les Halles de Schaerbeek in Brussels. In film he was the lead in the BAFTA short listed short “Watching” performing opposite Ian Hart, was the lead in the short film “Recalculating”, the debut of renowned BBDO London creatives Nathalie Turton and Lorelei Mathias, and in the short film "At the Edge of Night",directed by Brandon Fayette, J.J. Abrams right hand man at Bad Robot. He has also recently starred in Stella Artois/Wimbledon spot directed by garlanded director Andreas Nillson, produced by Mother, and a Lexus spot in the US directed by Douglas Avery. He is a passionate, committed actor who believes in the absolute need in the world for great stories and actors to tell them.
