Charlie Gillette is an award-winning filmmaker based in New York City. Her work has been featured in The Hollywood Reporter, Teen Vogue, Elle, and Bustle, and has screened at the Museum of the Moving Image, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and film festivals around the world.

As a writer-director, Charlie is drawn to stories of displacement, identity, and the experience of feeling like an outsider—both within our families and in the world. With Chilean and German roots and a nomadic childhood as an “army brat,” she was raised across cultures, often navigating in-between spaces. These experiences deeply inform her work, which explores identity through emotional nuance, subtle humor, and character-driven storytelling. Charlie is especially interested in how people give and receive love, and how those expressions shape our sense of self and belonging.
