Charles Burroughs is a film director specializing in comedy and quirky humour, currently based in Montreal, Canada, though his work has taken him around the world. Known for creating funny and absurd content, he has built a reputation in the industry, earning multiple awards throughout his career. His diverse portfolio spans commercial projects to fashion films, with several of his works screened at over 25 international festivals and numerous Vogue credits to his name.

He's worked with a number of different brands including Flaregames, Fruit'Dor, Lesters, Missoni, Motomaster, and Dettol to name a few.
