My name is Cameron Cohen, and I am a freshman at Chapman University, pursuing a B.F.A. in Creative Producing at Dodge College of Film and Media Arts and a minor in Film Music. 

 

I am creative and have a big imagination, and I have worked to create a portfolio with a vast range of genres. During my junior year at the Buckley School, my film studio with Accius West(Emerson Film 28'), AC Unit Films, created our thriller film "Le Lait." It is a short film about a young Lily Sarah who spends the weekend at her relatives' house, only to discover that everything is unsettlingly different. Our movie got the honor of being the closure in the South by the South Buckley Film Festival. While in Loyola Marymount University's Social Impact Filmmaking summer program, I created a short on a fundamental social issue that's very important to me: mental health. My short “Shattered” addresses the problem that we spend too much time criticizing every little thing and don’t take time to appreciate all that we have accomplished and have self-confidence. During my time at Chapman so far I’ve created shorts such as “Collateral Attraction” a Hit Man romance or “Truth be Told” a friend group drama filmed all with one continuous shot. 

 

My professional work experiences include being a production assistant on the Jonas Brothers music video for their song "Wings," directed by Josh Rimmey and Zach Williams. I was a PA on BodyArmor's "Zero to Hide" commercial starring Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo, directed by Josh Rimmey and Zach Williams. I also had the opportunity to intern at Stampede Ventures, an independent entertainment media company, during the summer of 2024.

 

Beyond filmmaking, my passions include ice hockey, where I was the captain of the Burbank Cougars. I have a love for music; I played the French horn in the Los Angeles Youth Orchestra and have picked up a passion for DJing.
