About Charnay:
Charnay is currently a Creative Executive at Anonymous Content working across Television and Film development. Previously Charnay was the Creative Executive at Covert Media, where she was involved in the development and production of Covert Media’s vast film slate, including the star-studded OPHELIA starring Daisy Ridley, Naomi Watts, Clive Owen and Tom Felton which premiered worldwide at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and the 2017 Netflix feature NAKED starring Marlon Wayans and Regina Hall. Charnay was integral in bringing Covert’s project THE SECRET, an adaptation of the worldwide best-selling book, directed by Andy Tennant (Ever After: A Cinderella Story, Hitch, Fool’s Gold) and starring Katie Holmes to the company. Charnay is keen on telling stories from perspectives that are not always featured in mainstream media. Additionally, Charnay works with Women in Film as a judge on the board for their Film Finishing Fund, and as a Peer Mentor in their Mentoring Circles. She also mentors with Mayor Garcetti's Evolve Entertainment Fund. She started her own organizations WHO RUN THE WORLD and THE TRIBE. Both encompass an elite group of female executives/producers/managers & agents working across the film and television industry with the goal of creating more opportunities for women both behind and in front of the camera. She is a graduate of UCLA and Brunel University (UK).
