The filmmaking career of Charles Unger began at age 12, when he wrote a spec script for the TV Anime series, Battle of the Planets. Six years later, by the time he graduated as a Fine Art major from New York City's prestigious La Guardia High School of Music and Art, Charlie had completed several stop-motion animation films. Charlie graduated from USC's School of Cinema-Television in the early nineties, and was accepted into the Motion Picture Editor's Guild shortly afterwards. For the next few years, he worked on several union features while writing screenplays. In the late nineties, Charlie wrote and directed a low budget, 80-minute feature film, Mr. Lucke. Charlie's first feature received incredible exposure due to the instant celebrity of its female star, Jerri Manthey of Survivor 2 fame, who also had posed for Playboy. Mr. Lucke was profiled on Entertainment Tonight, and E! News Daily. Entertainment Weekly reviewed it and praised the "slick" style of the film. Mr. Lucke screened at IFP's 2001 Feature Film Market in NYC and is currently available at Amazon.com, for on-line distribution. Later that same year, Charlie moved to Texas and taught film production and digital film editing at Southern Methodist University, in Dallas. Rediscovering film and teaching inspired Charlie to write a dramatic, comedy about college students for his next project Charlie's fifth screenplay; Come Together was selected as a FINALIST in the Latino Screenplay Competition. While Charlie was finishing post-production on Come Together, he edited Farrah's Story. The NBC TV documentary about Farrah Fawcett's fight with cancer was the highest-rated prime-time documentary of 2009. In November of 2009, Come Together was chosen as a PLATINUM REEL AWARD WINNER at The Nevada Film Festival. In June of 2010, Come Together was chosen as a SILVER ACE AWARD WIINNER at the Las Vegas Film Festival. On July 20th, of 2010, Indican Pictures will release Come Together on DVD. Recently, Charlie has written two more screenplays and directed The Punky Pets: International Icon, a short animation film that he and his wife and producing partner Paula, are using to launch a TV series.
