Director Biography - Charlie Funderburk

Charlie Funderburk is a student film-maker from Houston, TX who learned how to be behind the camera by working in sports broadcasting. Through his work in sports broadcasting, Charlie learned the ins and outs of how to work with talent, directors, and engineers and used these skills to direct his first film, THE DONUT PRINCE. Growing up, Charlie was inspired by the irreverent comedies his brother showed him. When he's not behind the camera, Charlie is usually playing the drums for his punk band.

Director Statement

This film is inspired by wacky Adult Swim humor and other absurd humor. The Donut Prince is a first-time effort into making comedy. This film is an experiment and introduction into the moviemaking world. This film was incredibly fun to make. The story follows two brothers getting into an argument. It feels like an argument any two siblings would get into except with the addition of its absurdity.
