Award-winning filmmaker Charlotte Regan, director of acclaimed debut feature Scrapper, and music videos for Wretch 32, Wilkinson and Mumford & Sons, has joined Somesuch in London for music video and commercial representation.

Regan's work is known for its vibrancy and strong narrative voice while depicting real-life stories with surrealist flair. The Londoner’s internationally-acclaimed debut feature Scrapper had its world premiere at Sundance 2023, where it went on to win the World Dramatic Grand Jury Prize. The film was then nominated for Best British Film at 2024’s BAFTAs, where Charlotte was named a Breakthrough Brit.

The Hackney-born writer-filmmaker began her film career making low budget grime videos on the streets of Islington as a teenager, shooting over 200 promos in the process. She progressed to short films, with her first short Standby - a comedy about friendship set entirely in a police car – was nominated for a BAFTA. Her second short Fry-Up, which follows a family during the preparations for and aftermath of a trial, screened at Sundance and Berlinale, and her third, Dodgy Dave was presented at BFI Festival London and TIFF.

In 2019, at the age of 25, a retrospective of her short film and music video work was held at the Barbican. A former Sundance Ignite fellow, she was named a Screen International Star of Tomorrow (2020).

She has also applied her filmmaking style to commercial projects, directing spots for the likes of Alzheimer's Society, British Airways, Macmillan and Cadbury. Alongside an impressive oeuvre spanning film, music and commercials, she’s helmed episodes of TV shows such as The Responder (BBC) and Buccaneers (Apple TV). Charlotte is currently writing MINT – an eight-part series commissioned by the BBC.
