Hi there.  I’m Charlie Morris, a self-taught video editor and filmmaker. I’ve learned a lot from making four feature-length documentary films for various conservation efforts. The learning never ends. I have a podcast called Salmonfolk Radio about the dangers of open-net salmon farming and its harmful impact on the world. In 2023 I wrapped up my role as the Co Director and Editor for The Last Shark, which premiered in Capetown, South Africa in November of 2023 and then went on to 18 live screenings there.

As of March 2024, I am based anew in Iowa City, Iowa. I am always trying to improve myself and my craft so I can inform, inspire, entertain and educate others.

Primarily my goal is to be involved with anything where the visual, auditory or written medium can help humanize us all and compel people to come from their heart. Most of the time, that comes in the form of conservation work. The essential question any content creator in the conservation field faces right now is how to create more conservationists in the modern era of disconnection from the natural world.

Caveat!: I love my conservation work but YES…I do other kinds of work as well for all kinds of clients. Because of my film work, I have had to become adept at building websites, run social media campaigns, design graphics, write copy for websites and press releases, consult with others across the world and network to make complex tasks achievable. That all translates to work that actually pays my bills…because conservation work does not.

I’m a single parent of two amazing young adults.  I am an avid outdoor yogi, outside boulderer, SUP paddler, front country & backcountry skier and snowboarder.

I prefer to work with small businesses, social movements, humanitarian causes, and environmental groups.
