DARRIN FLETCHER

“Fletch” began his film career in high school as a layout artist for XAM Animation Studio, working on layouts for iconic television series like Spider-Man and The Transformers. This experience honed his skills in storyboarding and visual storytelling. Despite being offered a position at Walt Disney Animation Studios, he chose to pursue his dream of live-action filmmaking.

​

Since then, Fletch has built an impressive career as a storyboard artist, contributing to over 65 feature films, including The World’s Fastest Indian, The Sandlot, High School Musical 3, and A Life Less Ordinary. His portfolio also includes hundreds of international commercials, such as the widely acclaimed Foundation for a Better Life campaigns.

​

In addition to his work in commercials and feature films, Fletch has gained extensive experience with large-format IMAX® productions like Mysteries of Egypt, Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure, and The Witness. His talents have also been instrumental in television, where he has visualized and storyboarded numerous pilots and series, including Charmed, Touched by an Angel, 7 Days, Extreme Rescue, Crossroads, and Everwood.

​

Currently, Fletch is dedicated to empowering the next generation of filmmakers. In 1999, he partnered with Chet Thomas to create SneakOnTheLot.com, an innovative online educational tool that teaches young people how to make movies. The program has since expanded to over 150 schools across the United States, providing students with hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of the filmmaking process.

​

Beyond filmmaking, Fletch is also committed to making a difference in the world. Together with Chet Thomas, he co-founded Haiti Strong, a nonprofit organization focused on addressing the root causes of human trafficking in Haiti. Through education, community development, and sustainable solutions, Haiti Strong works to empower vulnerable populations and create opportunities for a brighter future.

​

Fletch’s extensive career spans over 30 years in the film industry. Through his company, FletChet Entertainment, and in partnership with Chet Thomas, he has developed a diverse slate of projects in various stages of production. Currently, he is collaborating with Angel Studios, where he has two series greenlit. Both series will be directed and produced by Fletch, alongside Chet, further showcasing their dedication to creating impactful, high-quality content.

 

Fletch’s passion for storytelling, education, and humanitarian efforts continues to inspire and impact countless lives.
