Welcome back to Seasoned Professional, I'm your host, Hannah Octavia. Today, I’m honored to introduce a truly multifaceted talent—an actor, writer, director, and the visionary behind his own production company. His directorial debut, Dark Justice, a powerful film addressing sexual abuse, earned him Best Human Rights Film and Best International Short at the Atlantic Bridge Festival in Amsterdam.

Before we dive in, I want to provide a trigger warning for our listeners—this episode contains discussions of sexual abuse, and suicide. Please take care while listening.

It was an absolute pleasure speaking with him, and I know you'll be captivated by our conversation. Please welcome Rupert Charmak.

A brief final note is my lovely videographer forgot to turn on our microphones for the first 5 minutes. Please excuse the change in audio and we are so appreciative of your support while we figure out all this podcast stuff. If you’re watching this episode enjoy Elliot crawling into frame to turn on the microphones.
