Actor Charles Emmett has really been acting and writing since he was eight years old. In Portland, Oregon. His third grade teachers, Mrs. Collins, and later Ms. Feingold would encourage him. "If you want to write.., just write. Just write and see what happens..." At eight years old, Charles wanted to be the next William Shakespeare. In his mind, Charles became the black Woody Allen instead. But with a twist. When he saw the film, 'What's Up Tiger Lily?' by Woody Allen, Charles realized Woody Allen could help him become an expert on healing a nation through entertainment. The tragedy at the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2011, prompted Charles to form 'Americans United America', a non-profit entertainment organization geared toward uniting all Americans through quality, funky, hilarious, educational, enlightening entertainment.In 2015 Charles directed his second short film, 'Tricks Of The Trade', (The REAL Reason Why Actors Act). This film is the last of the five demo projects for Americans United For America. Charles' very first film for Americans United For America, 'An Average American Marriage', won "Best Directorial Debut" at the 2013 New York International Independent Film Festival (Los Angeles Edition). The film: 'An Average American Marriage', is a poignant take on our contemporary times incorporating everything that makes us seem different and shoving it through a truth blower aimed right at your face with love and respect for the human condition. The film also won "Best Short Film" and "Audience Award" at the 2012 ITN Film Distribution Festival in Los Angeles, California.Charles has also produced over forty Public Service Announcements, (PSAs).
