Cameron Carr
Mar 30, 2024 - Harlem, New York City, New York, USA
Cameron Carr is a born and bred Harlemite, Director and Creative Producer based out of NYC. As a pragmatic optimist, and ambition to become the Issa Rae/Jordan Peele/Donald Glover ultimate hybrid: After seven years of producing commercials at his Creative agency Alma Maters BBDO New York and Wieden+Kennedy NY - Cameron's constant mission is to continue to push, propel and create Black-led stories through film and creative, while spotlighting systemic inequities that often remain unconscious and unspoken in society. Cameron is coming off of his Writing and Directorial Debut for Harlem Fragments shot in March, backed by a $93K production budget in partnership with FUJIFILM, which latest accolades span from the Ida B. Wells Disrupting the Narrative Grant, and being selected for the 2023 DGA Shoot New Director Spotlight Showcase Cohort.
