The founder of Roaring Leo Productions, Chuck Griffith is considered by many to be one of the most promising film personalities.

Griffith launched his career at 16 years old when he formed his own theater company, The Griffith Theater Company. A few years later, following a short stint at Macworld Magazine, the ambitious filmmaker heard the muses calling him and started producing and directing projects on his own, including three short films in 2000. His flair for directing was recognized when he took home several international awards for “Safe Sex,” a short film that examined a serial killer preying on men in New York City gay bars.

In 2000, at age 25, Griffith produced and directed “Thank You, Good Night.”

The feature film was about a New Jersey garage-rock band touring the United States and starred Mark Hamill (“Star Wars”), Golden-Globe Winner Sally Kirkland, Nicole Eggert (“Baywatch”) and John Paul Pitoc and Christian Campbell of “Trick". "Thank You, Good Night", written by Chris Provenzano ("Mad Men") and produced by Robert Zimmer ("Half-Life"), garnered high praise at film festivals across the country and won a Jury Prize award in 2002.

By the following year, Griffith studied television directing on the set of the award-winning show “Six Feet Under,” under the aegis of Kathy Bates. Later, Griffith moved to New York City to reinvent himself artistically and study Comparative Literature at Columbia University. He also served as a producer for MTV's popular reality series, "Made", in 2007.

Griffith continues to develop a number of important television and film projects including "Shifting the Canvas", an independent film set for production in Summer 2008.
