Charlie Hamill
Aspiring Filmmaker
Hello there! I am a passionate filmmaker and videographer with a keen eye for capturing cinematic and authentic moments on screen. I grew up in Sydney Australia, and have always wanting to become a filmmaker, as it is one of the truest forms to connect with people, places, and perspectives. In 2025 I moved London to pursue that dream, and have loved every second of it.
I have developed my skills in creating videos and content that tell unique stories. My goal is to create stories and media that move people and leave a lasting impression on my audience and potential clients.
Education

Experience
2025
BTS Videography
Noah - Short Film
'Noah' is a reimagining of the story of Noah's Arc, from Director Rhiannon Barker. The story is told from the perspective of the youth today. How would school students react to a raging storm that has trapped them? This was an amazing project to work on, as I had free range to capture BTS footage that was equally as intimate as it was cinematic. You can see more here.

POV - Short Film
POV is a horror story about toxic love, and escaping the demons that lurk within relationships, both metaphorically and literally. This was a passion project I wrote and directed before leaving Australia. I've seen it though from pre and now into post production. Which is where it is currently, but we are looking to have a successful festival run with the piece once it's fully completed. More updates here.

Hide & Seek - Short Film
Hide & Seek is a personal story about a grieving mother, getting to meet her deceased son. Except now he is the age he would have been had he not passed away 10 years ago. This was my CAPSTONE project for my final year in university, and it was a big learning experience. From working with child actors, to filming on location in a family home and to a speedy post production period. However, it only made me more motivated to continue filmmaking. You can see more here.

Social Media Director
Australian Directors Guild
During my degree, I had the amazing opportunity to intern at the Australian Directors Guild as their Social media Director. I had the opportunity to organise, shoot, and edit interviews with Australian Directors and shed light to the work that's going on.

1st Assistant Director
Heritage - Short Documentary
Heritage is an exploration of the shared female experience within a family lineage, conveying the changing thoughts and experiences of feminism. On this set I greatly increased my organisational skills, as 1st AD I was in charge of making sure everything ran on time and operated smoothly. I enjoyed being able to problem solve with a variety of different crew members and on different aspects of the filmmaking process during the shoot.

Our Kind of Love - Music Video
Our Kind of Love is a song about break up's and how the next relationship one may go into, will never have the same connection that was once previously there. We wanted to explore the colourfulness of love in a unique way, opting to use deep blues and purple. We felt this added a deeper feeling to the kind of love that was being spoken about in the song, a love that is now gone, forgotten.

Co-Director
500 Days of Summer - Scene recreation
As a part of our directing module in my 2nd year of university, I co-directed a scene recreation from the movie "500 Days of Summer" (M. Webb, 2009). This was an interesting process, as we chose to direct the scene in a completely different way to how it was shot in the movie. It walked away from the piece with a new understanding and skill of script analysis and preparation.

Camera Assistant
Affections - Music Video
Affections was a CAPSTONE final year project that in my 2nd year I helped with in the form of Camera Assistant. I was able to create genuine connections with the cast and crew, and do my part to the best of my ability.

Director
The Imperfect Human - Experimental Short Film
The Imperfect Human is a slow-burning portrayal of a man's obsession with control and a woman's desire for freedom. This is a piece I wrote and directed in my 2nd year of university. I was inspired by The Perfect Human by Jørgen Leth, and seeing him recreate his original piece in five different ways. I challenged myself to deconstruct and apply a contemporary take on his original.

Director
Close Encounters - Short Documentary
Close Encounters is explores three individuals whose everyday lives were changed as a result of a close encounter with death. I wanted to convey the finality of death, and its impact on our lives. How something so simple, or unprovoked could impact someone's life forever. You can see more here.
