ABOUT

I’m Charis Uster, a filmmaker and creative strategist with a passion for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. My work exists in the spaces where the intimate meets the cinematic.

My experience as a director, assistant director, producer, and content marketer has given me hands-on expertise in leading projects, coordinating shoots, and bringing ideas to life.

I explore the nuances of identity and desire through bold visuals and immersive storytelling, always aiming to challenge conventions and evoke emotion—whether crafting surreal dreamscapes or capturing the beauty in everyday moments.

My journey in filmmaking began in 2019 when I graduated from ESCAC with a degree in filmmaking and directed my first short film for Erika Lust and XConfessions. This early experience reinforced my love for pushing creative boundaries and set the foundation for my approach to storytelling today.
