David "Charlie" Ellis, a pioneering figure in the Baltimore film scene of the 1970s, played a crucial role as a driver in the production of the iconic super-indie genre pictures of that era.
In the early 1980s, Ellis took the initiative to establish an amateur fantasy and science fiction film competition at the Baltimore Science Fiction Convention, with the esteemed support of Starlog/Cinemagic magazine.
Fast-forwarding to 1994, Ellis took the innovative step of launching the world's first Internet Magic Shop, a groundbreaking venture that showcased his forward-thinking approach.
Today, Ellis is a key principal at Belgravia Pictures, where he has been involved in the development and production of notable projects such as "Glass Houses" and "The Coming".
