Charlie Sporns is an award-winning writer, director, editor, and composer from Montreal, Canada. Often bittersweet, ironic, and subtle, Charlie's films embrace the humor within tragedy and the impossibility of interpersonal transparency. His bilingual short film "Dead Bird Don't Fly" examines the identity crisis of a Chinese teenager struggling to find her place within American culture, a film that has since been highly acclaimed by critics and film festivals alike while garnering distribution worldwide.

As CEO of Glasscore Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based production company, Charlie has collaborated with partner Tigran Mutafyan on several short films, music videos, and feature length films, forming the company's reputation for low cost, high quality film productions as exemplified by Glasscore Entertainment's first feature-length film, "Slipaway". In 2016, Charlie worked as an editor on over a dozen projects, one of which, "Vidiots", a comedy web-series starring former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star James Marsters and Mark Devine, would later involve Charlie as a director.

Further pursuing his passion for Chinese culture and drawing from his own parents' divorce, Charlie's upcoming feature-length dramatic comedy is set to use the rapidly modernizing tropical island of Hainan, China as a backdrop for the story of a traditional coconut farmer fighting to preserve normalcy amidst the abandonment of her family, her dying mother, and the end of an era.
