I am MIA CHARLESON.
Originally from Newcastle NSW, I made the leap to Sydney to chase my dream of becoming a filmmaker. Since arriving, I've immersed myself in the industry, contributing to over 7 productions in the last 2 years, with ambitions for many more in the pipeline.
My proudest achievement thus far is undoubtedly "Crimson Sands," a short film I both wrote and directed. Its craftsmanship has been recognized with over 8 awards, garnering attention with its own dedicated article.
I'm adaptable and eager to tackle any role within the industry, diving in with full commitment.
