art in a warzone.

We made an Oscar-qualifying short film about a war torn opera house on the ragged edge of Ukraine.

Charles’ invaluable logistical support, narrative input, and professional insight were key to making and marketing a profoundly impactful film.

A few miles from the Russian border in war-torn Ukraine, an opera house stands as a defiant symbol of resilience.

Directed by Brian Henderson, produced by Landon LaRue, Macklin Woodruff, Meredith Rodriguez, and Charles McBryde, Note of Defiance tells the story of two Ukrainian artists struggling to keep their culture alive amidst wartime conditions brought about by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
