Biografi
Charlene deGuzman was born and raised in San Jose, California. She spent her childhood as a competitive dancer, then moved to New York City to pursue magazine journalism. She quickly ended up back on stage, performing Off-Broadway and in the national tour of STOMP. Currently in Los Angeles, Charlene first garnered attention tweeting as @charstarlene on Twitter, and Rolling Stone named her one of the "Funniest People on Twitter Right Now." She went on to write and star in her own short films, and her most popular one, "I Forgot My Phone," has over 51 million views on YouTube and was featured in The New York Times, USA Today, Time, NPR, Good Morning America, Vice, The Today Show, and more. In 2016, with the help of indie hero Mark Duplass, she successfully crowdfunded her first feature film "Unlovable," which she stars in with John Hawkes and Melissa Leo. "Unlovable" premiered at SXSW in 2018 and received special jury recognition. It was picked up by MGM's Orion Classics and released in theaters and VOD. Variety said, "deGuzman's performance is so arresting and engaging, you keep your eyes glued to her - if only so you don't miss the next development that will be hilarious or heartbreaking or both." IndieWire said, "[Unlovable] has plenty going for it... but it's most appealing because of the full-force charm and talent of its leading lady, Charlene deGuzman... She's also just plain wonderful to watch, deGuzman is a star in the making."
