Charlotte Regan
British film director
Charlotte Regan (born 19 June 1994) is a British film director. She has directed many music videos, and her short films have been shown at major international film festivals. In 2023, her debut feature film Scrapper won the Grand Jury Prize for the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
Regan's films are often characterised, as The Guardian describes, focusing "on working-class communities and characters." She has spoken in interviews of the barriers faced by working-class people in the film industry, and others' privilege.
Biography
Regan was born in Hackney and raised in North London with her mother and grandmother. According to an interview with The Guardian, some of Regan's childhood was with her grandmother on an estate in Islington.
As a teenager, she also worked as a paparazzi photographer; photographing film sets such as Skyfall inspired her to become a filmmaker herself. She started filming music promos when she was 15, going on to direct more than 200 of them, including for Mumford & Sons ("Beloved") and for Stereophonics ("Fly Like an Eagle").
Regan graduated from Ravensbourne University London in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Digital Film Production. Her first short film Standby (2016) premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Why this record matters
“Charlotte Regan” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Charlotte, Regan and British provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q122766489. VIAF identifies the subject as 27155767408627762790. The Library of Congress control number is no2023128207. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2023 and 2016.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
