Charlie Lyne (born 15 August 1991) is a British film critic and filmmaker, best known for the films Beyond Clueless and Fear Itself.[1]

Career

Lyne established the movie blog Ultra Culture in 2008, at the age of 16. Ultra Culture was known for its chatty style, strong opinions[2] and concise pop cultural commentary.[3]

In 2010, Lyne joined the BBC programme Film 2010. Host Claudia Winkleman approached him using Twitter, saying that she was 'obsessed'[4] with his website and that she would 'bloody kill'[5] for him to be on the show. Lyne left the show after one season.[6]

Lyne's debut film Beyond Clueless premiered at SXSW in 2014.[7] His second, Fear Itself, debuted on the BBC iPlayer in October 2015.[8]

In 2016, Lyne crowd-funded a 607-minute film of white paint drying on a brick wall[9] to be submitted to the British Board of Film Classification in a protest against censorship and mandatory classification.[10] On 26 January 2016, the film was given a U rating for 'no material likely to offend or harm'.[11]
