Charlotte Regan | BAFTA Breakthrough 2023

Описание: Star Wars. The MCU. James Bond. These are the blockbuster ambitions of writer/director Charlotte Regan, whose debut feature film, Scrapper (2023), has been wowing critics and audiences alike for its innovative storytelling and breezy aesthetic. This coming-of-age tale, set on a London housing estate, is an accomplished debut, pairing the authenticity of a Ken Loach working-class drama with the imaginative whimsies of such filmmakers as Terry Gilliam and Wes Anderson.

Scrapper is not autobiographical, but aspects of Charlotte’s life clearly inspired it. She spent part of her youth living with her grandmother on a north London estate, but it was far from the grim experience often portrayed onscreen. Indeed, she loved it, with an ensemble of friends just a few doors away. At age 15, she started filming music promos for her grime artist friends – hundreds, she estimates – helping to hone her directorial eye before making her first short film, Standby (2016). This film won Charlotte a BAFTA nomination, which in turn brought new opportunities her way, including music videos for the likes of Stereophonics and Mumford & Sons.
