Who We Are

Charlie Chiara - Producer

With over 23 years in the entertainment business, Charlie has produced programming in almost every media format, and his work has spanned all distribution outlets including Home Video, Documentary, Television and Feature Films. Charlie was at the forefront of the video explosion of the 1980s when he was a Partner at Selluloid Video, the Culver City based production company where he developed and line-produced a number of award-winning shows. After a run with Clio Award winning visual-effects boutique Image G (Star Trek - The Next Generation), Charlie joined his friend Morris Eisenman to form Dinamo Entertainment, where they produced 3 feature films in 4 years. But the shrinking market for feature films has created new opportunities, and Charlie recognized the fantastic potential for video/film distribution and marketing on the web. Over our first 5 years Charlie has developed in a wide range of clients for Clear Stream Films.

Peter Mackie - Writer/Director

With a background in advertising and marketing, Peter is also a long term Writer’s Guild Member and Screen Actor’s Guild voice-over artist. He is a produced comedy/movie writer, and has sold screenplays to Hollywood studios.

With years of directing various productions under his belt, he has been writing and directing all Clear Stream Films currently streaming on the web.

He has the ability to find the meaning behind a client’s product or service and successfully translate that into a powerful and entertaining visual- marketing tool.
