WRITER/DIRECTOR

Charlotte, an LGBTQ+ filmmaker, began her career working in film and TV production but yearned to be on set. With the help of Screen Skills, she transitioned to script supervising – a role that sees you become the director’s closest ally. Charlotte has been lucky enough to work on some of UK’s biggest films such as ‘Barbie’ and ‘Doctor Strange 2’, and closely with some of the industry’s most esteemed directors, including Sam Raimi and Greta Gerwig. As a Script Supervisor, Charlotte has worked across many genres and many budgets. Having learnt so much from many directors, Charlotte knows her style and the stories she wants to tell.

Charlotte has a Masters in Directing and Producing from The National Film and Television School, and trained as an actor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

Starting at the BBC, with a stint working in both production and script supervising on various Marvel, Disney, DC & Netflix projects, she now assists Producers.
