Charles Coleman
Jul 31, 2003 - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
Charles Coleman is a cinematographer from Raleigh, North Carolina with aspirations of shooting narrative and experimental work for a living. He has a chameleonic style that he adapts to wildly diverse projects, while maintaining a focus on the intimate, ambiguous, and immaterial qualities of interpersonal drama and artistic invention. He's also known for his dense schedule and intense dedication and work ethic.
While primarily a DP who lives in the camera and g&e departments, Charles also spends a lot of time in the edit bay cutting and postproducing color. He was also the recipient of the Michael Piller Excellence in Screenwriting award in 2024 for a full-length screenplay written for the competitive Writing for the Screen and Stage program at UNC Chapel Hill, and he has amateur experience producing, directing, and postproduction sound mixing. He loves the theoretical as much as the technical, with a personal affinity for Theodoros Angelopoulos, Andrei Tarkovsky, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Wong Kar-Wai. For Charles, though, the work dictates the style, always.
