Charlee Van Poppel

I’m a passionate filmmaker and visual artist with a deep love for storytelling through both the lens and the canvas. As a director and cinematographer, I approach each project with a unique perspective, blending my artistic background with technical precision.

My journey began with a foundation in visual arts, where I developed a keen eye for composition, color, and form. These skills naturally evolved into my filmmaking, where I aim to create cinematic experiences that are not only visually striking but also narratively compelling. Whether I’m behind the camera, in the editing room, or directing actors, I’m always focused on creating work that resonates with the viewer long after they leave the theater.

Welcome to my portfolio — I’m excited to share my vision with you.

As a director…

I craft compelling stories that resonate on a deeper level, with every frame serving the narrative. My work reflects my commitment to innovation, emotion, and visual artistry. I believe that powerful storytelling has the ability to move and connect people worldwide.

As a cinematographer…

I believe in the power of visual storytelling to convey emotions, elevate narratives, and immerse audiences in unforgettable experiences. It is about more than just beautiful images—it's about using light, composition, and movement to enhance the story. My goal is always to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, making every frame a work of art.

As an artist…

I’m able to express ideas through visual composition and detail. This passion directly informs my approach to filmmaking, where I treat each frame like a canvas—crafting every shot with intention, texture, and emotion. For me, both mediums are about telling stories visually, whether with a brush or a camera.

Let’s stay in touch.
