Hey there! I'm Chuck, a dedicated Director known for creating an environment where talent not only survives but truly blossoms. With over 12 years of invaluable experience at Harvest Films in LA, I bring a wealth of expertise to every project.

My unique ability to establish comfort and rapport enables me to weave compelling stories that evoke authentic responses. With a personal journey through challenging experiences like addiction and recovery, I connect on a profound level with individuals facing sensitive topics. I take pride in giving voice to the silenced, using my own journey to foster empathy and understanding.

Working with families on lifestyle shoots is another passion of mine – capturing genuine moments that reflect the joy and togetherness they share. With a knack for bringing out the true essence of my subjects, I aim to turn every project into a memorable and impactful visual narrative.

Let's team up and bring your stories to life with all the authenticity and heart they deserve!
