Chuck Three's Mission
is to capture, create and communicate stories through photography and video and give others the opportunity to do the same; while using the freshness of a child’s eye to discover the community around us, to imagine creative methods of storytelling and to express authenticity with confidence.
For Kids, By Kids
Working with children and youth in the arts has long been a part of Chuck Three’s mission creating media to support a young person’s growth and allowing them a chance to create their own media.
