Written and directed by Shawn Ryan (Bones, America's Got Talent), who also plays the film's title character, a young man named Charlie who goes mute after putting his abusive past behind him and then faints in front of the Sanderson family home on Christmas Eve.
"Charlie" was nominated for the Emerging Filmmaker Award in the American Pavilion at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, and Ryan won Best Actor at the Riverbend Film Festival. The film was also recognized as the Best Short at the Gulf Coast Film Festival, and Best International Short at the Shropshire Film Festival.
