CHARLES ANCELLE WORKING BOTH SIDES OF THE CAMERA

Charles Ancelle is a French filmmaker and producer who first discovered his love of filmmaking as a child. His childhood was spent drawing, reading, and playing the piano - discovering the films of Stanley Kubrick introduced Charles the medium of filmmaking beyond entertainment. Above all, filmmaking and storytelling fills him with happiness. “I don't think anything beats being as happy as the first day of filming any project, or when you finally screen it to the public. Those feelings make it all worth it.”
