Charles Williams: the road to writing and directing his feature film debut Inside

We’re joined on Breaking Screen by Charles Williams, an acclaimed Australian film director, writer, and producer, who talks about what winning the short film Palme d’Or in 2018 meant to him, how the films he grew up watching inspired his debut feature Inside, and how his work in short filmmaking prepared him when it came to directing a feature.Charles has won more than 60 international awards, including the prestigious Cannes Film Festival Short Film Palme d'Or for All These Creatures. Charles then made his feature debut with Inside, which had its world premiere at Melbourne International Film Festival, was selected for Tribeca Film Festival, released theatrically in February via Bonsai Films, and is available to rent or buy now through Apple TV. Charles won the AWGIE Award for Best Original Screenplay for Inside and the Betty Roland Prize for scriptwriting at the NSW Literary Awards.Inside follows a young man who’s transferred from a juvenile to adult prison, where he’s taken under the wing of both Australia’s most despised criminal (played by Cosmo Jarvis), and a soon-to-be-paroled inmate (played by Guy Pearce).
