CJ Studios: Summer of '89
A film company that craves to revolutionize the industry of film, one small step at a time.
Who We Are
Producer/Writer 1: Charlie! (She/Her)
Hello! I’m Charlie, or CJ… Or Kendall. I hope to change the acting industry and show new faces of aspiring actors. The industry doesn’t see many films written by youth, and I want that to change. This is a small step, but it’s a step nonetheless. I’ve written 3 pervious scripts, so this isn’t completely new to me. However, I’m more experienced in acting and directing than writing. I’ve directed 5 shorts, 1 play, and I’ve acted in countless productions.
Co-Producer/Writer 2: Nathan! (He/Him)
Cheers! My name is Nathan, and I am new to the acting industry. My goals for this project are to broaden my range in acting and get more experience with it. This project is my first time writing for a film. As for acting, I have been in 2 musicals and 2 plays(including one that Charlie has directed). When I’m not acting/directing, you can find me watching Captain America or listening to Wham!.
