Charles H. Ehrlinger is an award-winning Director and Producer. During high school, he trained in the fine arts at the Silvermine Art Guild and when his abstract paintings began to win awards, he decided to pursue his passion for art. With the help of several art scholarships, he enrolled at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. It was during these college years where his passion crossed over from fine art into filmmaking.

His 17-minute senior thesis, NINETEEN, shot in 16mm, earned many awards like best lead actor and best writer. Upon graduation in 2004, Charles followed the footsteps of many before him and ventured out to Los Angeles with a car packed full of boxes and a few dollars to his name. 

Eager to find his way next to the camera, he took any job that came his way. Charles found an attraction to grip work and eventually joined the union. As a union grip, Charles has worked on many award-winning films like, FORD V. FERRARI, INCEPTION, MONEYBALL and many others.

He was given the opportunity by Wally Pfister to be the Motion Graphics Designer on his film TRANSCENDANCE starring Johnny Depp, for which he created massive amounts of visual content for the film.

Charles’s work has also led him to write and direct his own short films, music videos and commercials. HEIRLOOM, a 35mm, 23 minute short is about three generations of a family struggling to get over their past; engaged audiences in many film festivals around the country. STRAY COURSE, a 35mm, 17-minute dark comedy is about a man searching for his lost dog; wowed audiences at the Holly Shorts Film Festival at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

Recently, Charles has written, directed and produced his first feature-length film, Alone Wolf.

Charles resides in Los Angeles with his wife Eliza and daughter Lorelei.
