Biography

Charles Pinion is a multifaceted visual artist and director who has made a profound impact on the world of cinema with his eclectic and thought-provoking films. His early work, Twisted Issues, a punk rock-infused skateboard zombie movie released in 1988, showcased his ability to blend genres and push boundaries. This was followed by Red Spirit Lake, a post-Cinema of Transgression film that transported viewers to a world of witches in the snow, released in 1992.

Pinion's next feature, We Await, a gritty and intense exploration of cannibalism set in San Francisco, was released in 1996 and cemented his reputation as a bold and innovative filmmaker. Over a decade later, his 3D feature, American Mummy, premiered at the Revelation Film Festival in Australia in 2014, further solidifying his status as a master of the medium.

In more recent years, Pinion has turned his attention to shorter formats, releasing the poignant and powerful short film, Try Again, a hopeful and thought-provoking exploration of suicide. This latest work serves as a testament to his ability to tackle complex and sensitive subjects with sensitivity and nuance.

Today, Charles Pinion resides in Los Angeles, where he continues to work on new projects and push the boundaries of his craft.
