Charlie Vjestica

Charlie Johan James Vjestica is a British filmmaker from Manchester, United Kingdom. Born to parents Andre and Tracy Vjestica, Charlie was raised in burrows of Stockport where he was introduced to the world of film by his family via blockbusters such as Sam Raimi's original Spiderman trilogy and Michael Bay's Transformers movies. As well as this he was also shown more classical pieces of film by his father such as Don Chaffey's 1963 movie Jason and the Argonauts, Vjestica considers these films to be the original driving force behind his fascination and admiration for the world of cinema as they showcased timeless techniques of filmmaking that define the age they're a part of. in his younger years he perused an acting career, appearing in a multitude of stage productions across his home town, going on to win a N.O.D.A award in the best youth comedy performance category of 2019 for his role in a winter pantomime. His pursuit of an acting career lasted from Vjestica's early years to his late teens, where he finally began to reevalutate his chosen career path, he believed acting didn't allow him to completely utilise his creative skills to their fullest potential, and as a result gave up his acting career for a more behind the curtain career path. Vjestica still has high admiration for actors and the art as a whole, and has sometimes gone to step in as an actor in his own productions in recent history. In 2021 Charlie founded Legacy Cinema Productions alongside 2 friends. And as of late 2023 Vjestica now sits as the chairman of Legacy Cinema along side his business partners Liam Goodwin and Milly Elwell. Their work at Legacy Cinema has received global acclaim, collecting 9 Awards for their growing filmography, bagging most of those awards for their smash hit short documentary ‘INSIDE: Narrative of Our Journey. Their work spreads further into the freelance scene, working under the belt of the likes of Britain’s Got Talent Winner John Courtenay, The NHS, The Hallé Orchestra and many others.
