The Savage Journey
Charlie T. Savage is a passionate storyteller and advocate for diversity in film and television. A lifelong lover of the arts, her journey into writing was sparked by the events of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when she poured her emotions and experiences into her first novel. Since then, her love for film and TV has become the driving force behind her creative career.
Charlie is a strong proponent of inclusive storytelling, focusing on LGBTQIA+, people of color, and women—communities she is personally connected to. She actively participates in the California Film Commission, helping to foster the growth of film, TV, and commercial production throughout California with an emphasis on diversity and keeping creativity in California. Charlie is also a member of Veterans in Media & Entertainment (VME), an organization that supports U.S. military veterans transitioning into media careers.​

​Her producing credits include executive producing Uriel, Glory Obscured and All Things Considered: The Play, associate producing Mya’s House, and

She has also been a Writer’s Guild Foundation Veterans Project fellow and was a finalist in the Prince William Little Theatre’s Original Works Festival.
