Charlotte Kennett is a queer, neurodivergent writer and director with more ideas than her Google Drive can keep up with. Charlotte got her start in Chicago's comedy scene where she worked on countless productions (to name a few: The Patriot, Shrink, The Exorcist) and helmed two seasons and 22 episodes of Chapstick, a viral LGBTQ+ comedy web series that garnered over half a million views and received buzzy press from publications like VICE and WGN Radio. 

​

Charlotte has a penchant for curious, character driven dark comedies and genre films. With a deep love for complicated world building and nostalgic franchises, Charlotte's creative is intrinsically high concept, boundary pushing, and original. Her visual style is commanding and cinematically ambitious -- an obvious film nerd -- Kennett is as much of a technical director as she is creative. Her voice is queer, bold, emotional, intentional, and on the pulse of today. 

​

After graduating with a degree in Comedy Writing and Performance from Columbia College Chicago, she moved to Los Angeles and began working as an Office PA and later a Showrunner’s Assistant. Oscillating between being an assistant and working freelance as director, producer, and writer -- the breadth of Charlotte’s work is constantly evolving to showcase her unique style in each new endeavor and format. Charlotte is a creator who doesn't wait for opportunities to fall in her lap... but rather creates her own.

​

Since being in LA, Charlotte has secured all of her own jobs and projects, from creating award-winning short films to ideating and directing music videos for big labels like Sony and Columbia Records. Charlotte's commercial and doc clients include Twitch, NASA, IMG Models, and Mattel. Her debut short, Psycho Baby, has amassed over 530,000 views on Youtube since releasing this past Valentine’s Day -- and other projects of hers can be found hosted on YouTube and Amazon Prime.

​

During the week, Charlotte works as a writer's assistant to T-Street's latest breakout director, Chloe Domont, helping her prepare for her next feature. On week nights and weekends, Charlotte is busy restoring a 1990 Isuzu Trooper, exploring nearby National Parks, and developing her own TV show ideas and feature films.​
