ABOUT: This website showcases short film samples, mobile cinematography and still photography by Chuck Cranston.
Chuck is mostly known for his narrative films that tell stories of both Native American and African American culture. He is also known for short narrative films about climate, living in and leaving bad relationships, and the potential change in culture as a result of losing abundant water sources.
He has also done documentaries about the need for conservation of groundwater in the Northern Plains, and the struggle to protect salmon habitat for Native American tribal fishing along the Skagit River in the Pacific Northwest. Chuck’s award winning work has been seen nationally on PBS, and other film or television venues around the world.
