“I’m just a goof who wants to make things. If you’d let me, I’ll do a great job at it.”
- Charlie (a good friend to those who don’t cross him)
“I’ve been at this
longer than you think.”
Charlie has been working in the creative industry since he was twelve years old. That’s not a joke. It’s a fact. Since before he was a teenager, he’s been working in the professional setting of the creative industry since he had known early on that it’s what he wanted to do. I know that might sound like a long time, that he’s been working since before Matrix Revolutions came out, but it’s the truth.
With that amount of time, he’s able to hone a lot of different skillsets that has to do with creatives: Directing, Cinematography, Editing, VFX, Graphic Design, Branding, Creative Ideation, Event Creatives, and the list goes on. He would much prefer to be considered an overall creative instead of any single role since his perspective and ability to criticize and execute is far and wide.
Don’t let that be intimidating, as his intention with his breadth of experience is to share it and improve on the creative media process as a whole. He’s currently the dean at the College of Saint Anthony and it is in that position that he shares and hones his practice of media creation.
