Charlie Queen is a writer, director, and producer known for creating weird and fantastic stories that capture the most hilariously off-beat and oddball pockets of American culture. Charlie worked in the commercial and television industry in San Diego for years before striking out to make his own movies.
The cast and crew consisted of my family and some of my closest friends. This finished film represents the culmination of a year of planning and hard work, but mostly we just had a blast in the middle-of-nowhere, being creative and goofy together for four days. I'm so thrilled with how much fun and production value our crew was able to squeeze out of a really gorgeous but unforgiving landscape and a tiny budget. Special thanks to Andy Kuepper and Trevor Elliott (San Diego Film Equipment) for making this movie possible.
