Charlie Dennis is a writer/director from the West Midlands, focused on bold, genre-driven storytelling with strong thematic undercurrents, particularly within horror and social satire. He tells stories about marginalised communities using spectacle to ask questions about power, identity or oppression - but does so with a sprinkling of mischief, life and magic that represents the levity that we revert to when we’re at our lowest. He’s one of 5 filmmakers selected by Jordan Peele as part of Monkeypaw's NO DRAMA initiative, powered by Universal Studios and TIFF.
