Biography

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.
