Known for Directing
Charlie Endean is a British film and television first assistant director. He earned a First-Class Bachelor of Arts degree in Film, Cinema, and Video Studies from the University of the Arts London in 2005. Early in his career, Endean built a strong foundation in television, contributing as first assistant director to series like The Midnight Beast (2012), Tatau (2015), Humans (2015), The Last Kingdom (2015), and Vikings (2017-2019). His work on Game of Thrones during seasons 6 and 7, particularly on the pivotal episodes "Battle of the Bastards," "The Winds of Winter," "Spoils of War," and "Eastwatch," earned praise for his ability to coordinate large-scale action, intricate set pieces, and complex logistics. In interviews, he described his role as the nexus between a director's vision and production constraints, responsible for script breakdowns, scheduling, and aligning departments such as set design, stunts, digital effects, and extras—a role he likened to keeping "the machine moving fast" while preserving creative integrity. In film, Endean has worked as first assistant director on major theatrical features including Sergio (2020), The Lost City (2022), and Jurassic World: Dominion (2022), where he also served in an associate producer capacity on the latter two.
