Michelle Cameron has been creating in the Wellington screen sector for 7+ years as a director, cinematographer, editor and producer.

In 2015 she graduated top of her class at the New Zealand Film and Television school in editing as well as Most Outstanding Student where she was awarded a scholarship to kick-start her career. She was mentored by the late, well-known New Zealand filmmaker Tony Hiles.

In 2019, Michelle was awarded a $10,000 grant from Mental Health Foundation New Zealand for her debut documentary and partly animated webseries ‘Fight or Flight.’ The series aimed to de-stigmatize stereotypes around social anxiety.
