Charles Andrew & Charles Borg

Magda

2026 Screenwriting Contest - Semifinalist

Charles Andrew ("Charles A") is a WGAe screenwriter, an awesome-AF dad, and an award-winning content developer. He loves to read and write fun, frantic escapism in the form of gritty crime thrillers, broad popcorn comedies, and high-concept sci-fi and fantasy.

He's written 2 feature OWAs slated for production in 2026. Besides those, he's penned 4 other feature screenplays, 4 pilots, 9 episodes, and a graphic novel. He co-writes and produces "The Trucker," a sci-fi horror audio drama podcast. He's started three sketch comedy groups, hitchhiked through Australia, and driven across the U.S. in a 20-year-old Volvo with only a dog and a guitar. He arm-wrestled a nun in San Francisco, and is pretty sure she cheated.
