Now building Fermata.

Cameron is the Founder & CEO of Fermata — a studio building a new kind of story, one you live inside, where you’re the star.

He came to it as a filmmaker. A BFA in Film & Television Production from USC (Summa Cum Laude) and an MA in Narrative & Emerging Media gave him the storytelling craft he now brings to a new medium — where the tools are AI and real-time game engines, but the goal is unchanged: make an audience feel something true.
