In addition, Chuck has made numerous travelogues from around the world, and written and (more) directed six plays for the stage, many based upon the life and times of William Shakespeare. He began his career as a photographer and DP, and brings a great visual sensibility to all of his work.
But above all, he believes in the importance of the written word. Chuck is a true independent, beholden to no one. He has no investors to pay back, no gatekeepers to appease, and no requirements to fulfill, and, as such, has made no Faustian deal to compromise his vision or distort his truth. He believes his work should not deprive the audience of the ability to think.He aims to please, but will not pander. He hopes to provoke thought as well as laughter. He strives for empathy and amusement in equal measure.
