PERFORMANCE | LIFESTYLE| DOCUMENTARY

Charlie Thorne is a director and storyteller celebrated for his seamless fusion of striking visuals and deeply human performances. Renowned for his ability to capture authenticity, his work often occupies the compelling space between narrative and documentary, blending actors with non-actors to craft honest, emotional stories that resonate on a profound level.

In 2016, Charlie’s exceptional film Live for Today for the Alzheimer’s Society earned him a nomination for Best New Director at the Kinsale Shark Awards. The film, which explores the early stages of dementia, has since become a valuable educational resource in UK schools, helping families understand the challenges of living with the condition.

Charlie's career has flourished ever since, with him directing high-profile campaigns for brands such as Airbnb, Dettol, LinkedIn, Air China, Cancer Research UK, and the National Trust. His work for the Scottish Association for Mental Health, Going to Be, garnered multiple awards and widespread acclaim for its raw, unflinching portrayal of the children's mental health crisis—an issue that, in hindsight, feels strikingly ahead of its time.
