About

A Canadian filmmaker

Charles Gunn

I'm a director and producer working across AI and physical production. Some weeks that means a generative pipeline and no camera at all. Other weeks it means an 80 person crew, stunt drivers, and a day on the Universal backlot.

My bet is that the filmmakers who matter next will treat AI as a department rather than a gimmick, with the same rigor they would bring to stunts, VFX, or sound. Directing taste plus producing discipline is the whole job, whichever toolkit the project needs.

I'm completing an MFA in Film and TV Production at USC. Before that I spent four years in Copenhagen at Implement, rising to Creative Lead on work for Bang & Olufsen, Novo Nordisk, and the band Phlake. I also worked on Vågn Op Med Danmark, winner of the Ekko Shortlist Audience Award. Earlier still: a kinesiology degree in Vancouver and a student non-profit, Generocksity, that raised over $100k for Canadian charities through live music. The through line has always been the same, which is getting ambitious things made with other people.
