Chuck Jaws
Inspired by Steven Spielberg's "Jaws," Chuck Gramling filmed 8mm and
16mm shorts until he was 21 years old. He eventually moved on to
videotape, which was far less expensive than film. In 1988, he produced
and co-starred in "All That Jaws," a 40-minute spoof which aired locally
in Florida. Due to the program's regional success, he was soon offered
the executive producer position on a fictional series entitled "Your
Wildest Dreams: First Features From Young Filmmakers" a 30-minute
televison series (similar to the HBO show "Project Greenlight."). Chuck
also served as Writer/Director on three of the episodes, "The Pen Is
Mightier Than The Sword," "On The Air," and "The Trouble With
Shakespeare."In 1991, he co-directed a feature length spoof
entitled "Batguy," which toured with that year's Sci-Fi conventions. The
next year, he produced and directed a 15-minute fictional short film to
promote Paramount Pictures' "Pet Cemetary II."He also worked on
studio films for Fries Entertainment, Nederlander Television & Film
Productions and Universal Television on such films as "Super Carrier,"
"Intimate Strangers," and "Road Raiders."He also became known for his writing and directing for the corporate community for such companies as Johnson & Johnson.In
2002, he served as Director of Photography on the Connecticut based
comedy "The Root of All Evil." This feature length film about killer
great white pine trees starred Ron Palillo (Horshack of "Welcome Back
Kotter" fame) and Brandi Lynn Coppock (Former Playboy model).
