Skip Schwink is an award-winning filmmaker, actor, writer, director, producer, and editor with more than two decades of experience in film, television, and commercial production.

As an actor, his credits include Minari , Reagan , in which he portrays President Jimmy Carter, and the Lionsgate feature C.I. Ape . Behind the camera, Skip has worked extensively in directing, producing, cinematography, editing, and post-production, and previously wrote and directed an independent feature that earned multiple festival awards. In 2026, he received the Bare Bones International Film & Music Festival Trailblazer Award in recognition of his work as an independent filmmaker.

Skip is the founder of Supercharger Studios, an independent production company focused on creating original films and entertainment outside the traditional studio system.

His latest project, The Supervillain , brings together his experience in live-action filmmaking, performance, animation, and emerging production technology to create a feature-length animated action comedy in a way that would not have been possible for an independent filmmaker just a few years ago.

With The Supervillain , Skip is taking what he has learned over a career of making movies and putting it toward a simple idea: you shouldn’t need a massive studio or a massive budget to tell a big, entertaining story.
