Charles Cardall

Beau grew up in Berkeley, California, and from a very young age he knew he wanted to tell stories. Then one summer, he found an old video camera in a closet of his house and his life was changed forever. Throughout his childhood, he taught himself how to shoot and edit short films, volunteered as a production assistant on various sets and even took classes at the UCLA School of Television, Film and Theater. A 2014 graduate of Evergreen State College, where he holds a Bachelor of Arts in Storytelling and Media Studies, he is now an Editing Fellow at the American Film Institute. Before AFI, he was editing short form documentary projects for Thurston Community Television in Olympia, Washington.
