Charles Coleman

Charles Coleman is a cinematographer, editor, director, colorist, and screenwriter. He is known for his work ethic and exactitude. His influences include Theo Angelopoulos, Wong Kar-Wai, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Robert Bresson, and many others. For Coleman, film as art is about the authentic representation of self and experience, the removal of artifice, and the utilization of image with total consciousness of what it is. As a creator (and a philosophy enthusiast), he is interested in the overlap between the chaos of real life and the poetic logic of art, and looks to interrogate the nature of endless hope, nostalgia, love, faith, and chance in this space. As a cinematographer, he enjoys the tactile process of "solving a new puzzle" in the making of every shot, and attempting to bring to life the world in someone else's mind.
