UNCOVER: Charles Perry

Charles Perry started this documentary with no funding and no corporate support. Despite this, he left his home, relationship and regular life to pursue a project he was so very passionate about. Over the past 3 years, Charles has married the story of the Black Cowboy and his passion for film making to produce a documentary showcasing the unsung history and culture of black horsemen all over the country. He has received additional support to continue his work and reminds us there is enough out here for everyone.

His favorite part of the filming process is connecting with the people he meets and capturing their personality on film. Charles continues to pursue his life dream despite the global pandemic, and is excited to announce the documentary is almost complete.

We played 2 truths and a lie and learned how a fellow film maker left him in Kansas and how one time his equipment was compromised and stolen. Charles reminds us that life’s ups and downs make for the best movie quests. 

His advice for aspiring film-makers is simple:

• Figure out what you want
• Figure out how you are going to get it

Watch/listen to the very end for his hilarious story of being mistaken for Idris Elba at the Sundance film festival!
