Charlie Lightening

Charlie Lightening doesn’t exactly fade into the background—this guy’s practically a chameleon in the film world, bouncing between music docs and moody visuals like he’s got caffeine for blood. You might’ve stumbled across his fingerprints on “The River” (2017), a film that’s less about lazy afternoons and more about life’s rough undercurrents. There’s this raw, restless energy threading through—maybe it’s the way he frames a shot, or the way the music crawls under your skin. Then there’s “Jamiroquai: Automaton” (2017). If you’re expecting another bland concert flick, forget it. Lightening spins up this visual fever dream, cranking the volume on Jamiroquai’s already bonkers style. Neon-lit chaos, slick sci-fi vibes, and the kind of editing that makes your brain do somersaults. It’s like he’s inviting you to get lost in the groove, even if you’ve never danced a day in your life. And don’t sleep on “All of Those Voices” (2023). This one’s a heavy hitter—a documentary that digs way past the surface. Lightening gets you right into the whirlwind of fame, heartbreak, and personal demons. You see the good, the bad, the ugly—warts and all. He’s got a knack for making you feel like you’re right there in the room, catching every wince, every laugh, every breakdown. Honestly, the dude’s got range. It’s not just about capturing moments—it’s about making you feel them, punch and all.
