CHUCK PARIS PRODUCTIONS
Filmmakers know that whatever they create within the confines of four walls goes to the world. Chuck Paris believes that this potential to influence is entrusted and that it carries with it a great responsibility to enhance our world. People in every arena and in all walks of life have the ability to influence, but it is the artists, actors, writers, photographers, musicians, directors and producers who should be held to higher accountability because they influence through the enduring power of emotions.
Chuck Paris is ex-military (Army) and a former ten-year veteran police officer. Chuck earned a BA in "Multimedia Approaches to Violence Prevention" and a Master's degree in Leadership/Terrorism & Homeland Defense. He is a member of AFTRA/SAG (American Federation of Television & Radio Artists and Screen Actors Guild).
Chuck is a member of the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation and the International Association for Counterterrorism & Security Professionals. He is a certified Leadership Coach and trains leaders for on-camera/media presentation skills and critical incidents. Chuck trains actors in conflict/drama for work in TV/film and for police, public safety and counterterrorism trainings. He is also a technical advisor on police procedures for filmmakers and actors. For additional information, see Services.
Chuck initiated "Courage Leads, LLC" to Advance Leadership & Honor Courage. "When the needs of the world know no limits, leaders know no boundaries." Chuck created Leadership Courage Awards (LCA) to recognize the risks, sacrifices and contributions of those who lead and inspire through their example. One of the LCA recipients is Author/Speaker Mildred Muhammad (former wife of the "DC Sniper") who founded the non-profit organization, "After the Trauma" to prevent domestic violence.
As a filmmaker/actor, Chuck engages people and passions on projects that promote humanity. His current project, "TERROR NETWORKS," concerns a home-grown terrorist attack in Washington, D.C. and focuses on fatherhood, family and faith in times of fear. It is about courage and leadership when it is needed most.
