Charlie Herndon

Writer in New York

Hi, I’m Charlie. I'm a writer who works across the mediums of film, theater, and prose. I'm originally from North Carolina, where I started my career writing about film for my high school newspaper and where I went to North Carolina School of the Arts.

There, I wrote and made some pretty cool movies with my best friends, my lifelong collaborators. I also wrote essays on the cinema, and any and all forms of narrative art.

Then, I moved to Los Angeles and did the whole LA thing. I was a freelance entertainment PA on set for producers, directors and filmmakers at major studios, networks, streamers, and video game companies on projects like Dune: Part Two, Destiny 2, Captain America and Black Panther, and Ghosts of Tsushima 2. Now, after spending time in Europe and the South, I'm based in New York City.

If you're still reading this, you might be curious about my writing. Check out my latest play online, read about my most recent awarded fellowship, which took place in Italy. Read my published essays in a magazine that I regularly contribute to, in print and in digital.

Watch the reading that I presented in the theater festival that I produced, and then watch the fun ways (like, TikTok), that I promoted it, which were via video.

I tend to read books, I watch movies, and like anyone does, I tend to document my life with photos.

I think you're cool, too, let's be friends.
