Cameron Barrett is a classically trained journalist and award-winning documentarian with more than two decades of storytelling experiences to her credit.

Her career began as a broadcast journalist. She covered Capital Hill while still a Masters student, and then moved on to general assignment reporting and anchoring in small market affiliates in the Northeast, eventually promoting to News Director. She took her experiences on the news desk and applied them to the classroom, teaching at St. Joseph’s College, the University of Miami and the top five journalism program at the Grady College of Journalism at the University of Georgia.

In the last several years, Cameron has turned her talents to long-format story telling and web video. An expert in video podcasting, she has produced, shot and edited hundreds of online news stories ranging from automotive to technology to positive news. She shot, produced and edited two hour-long, high-definition sports documentaries for College Sports TV (CBS) and InDemand. In 2005 she led a camera crew through the Outback of Australia and produced a documentary on the University of Michigan’s third place finish in the World Solar Car Challenge. The movie won a Telly Award for best non-profit production.

She recently completed editing another sports documentary on the 2007 World Solar Challenge that is now making its way into the festival calendar. She is in the midst of producing an Earthquake safety education series and related program featuring the USGS, Cal Tech, USC, Southern California Earthquake Center, and the LAFD.
