Charlotte is drawn to people with interesting life stories and those who challenge today’s societal conventions. Her work often embraces surrealism and, coming from a music video background, she attempts to push conventional storytelling boundaries in a visually striking and compelling way. Having worked as an editor for 14 years, storytelling is ingrained within her. This coupled with a strong visual style helps her craft stories that are poetic and emotionally driven. Charlotte has directed numerous award-winning music videos for artists including Kimbra, Aldous Harding, Benee, The DMA’s and Marlon Williams. In 2018 Charlotte directed ‘Give Kate A Voice’, a short film that commemorated 125 years of women’s suffrage in New Zealand and won multiple awards. Her short documentary ‘Nowhere To Be’, following cinematographers from around the world and their experience of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020, is currently being entered into festivals. In 2020, Charlotte's short film ‘OK Chlöe’ was acquired by The New Yorker Documentary, featured on The Guardian, Short of the Week and numerous festivals. Following on from the success of her short, Charlotte is currently in production on a follow-on feature documentary. She is also in development on two further feature documentaries, is completing a Sundance TV writing course alongside co-writer and producer Madeleine Askwith and has several short films, a feature film and an additional television series she is developing.

Over the previous 15 years I’ve had the privilege of working on a huge variety of projects, from international advertising campaigns, online content, through to award winning feature films and TV series. When I reflect on this content I’ve created, what stands out as being memorable and aspirational, is the quality and substance of the ‘story’. So I take great care to find the sense and purpose of a story, the flow and rhythm of the narrative and their relationship with the visual choices in how they can hold a viewer's attention. While I have been involved with all types of content creation ranging from TVCs through to long form documentaries, I don’t have a preference, I just love the challenges of creating content that sticks with a viewer. Where I believe I am different compared with my fellow editors is that I like to spend time in the shadows between sound and vision. I believe that well crafted stories combined with carefully selected vision can take a story so far, but they can be taken further by pushing the interplay of the visuals within the sonic landscape. This subtle extra attention makes for a more complete viewer experience.

I’ve been an amateur photographer for 15 years and have had a passion for video for even longer, whether that be in front or behind the camera. I enjoy telling stories through the lens of a camera. I’ve been working with Baz Caitcheon (Bazzacam – www.bazzacam.co.nz) for a while doing both video editing work along with Smartphone Video workshops. I like to work from home and have my own studio setup for photography and video editing work. Its quiet and peaceful and allows me to focus on what I’m doing without any distractions of an office setting. I like to work on just about anything from explainer videos to short docos, but my preference is people stories.

I'm a journalist and filmmaker from Brazil, living in New Zealand. I believe that we can find different realities everywhere. Even in the city that you live and find out that you know everything. Because stories are part of anyone, and we can find someone that shows that your place is entirely new for you. Confuse? Let me show you how this is possible.
