About me

Hello! I’m Cam Medrano, an independent filmmaker based in Missouri.

My love for media production began in middle school. With an iPod Touch and iMovie downloaded, I was unstoppable. I’d make video edits of anything under the sun — my favorite movies, compilations of friends, the cockroaches at school… Like I said, anything under the sun.

I never outgrew this love for creating. I moved from Sacramento, CA to Missouri to pursue a degree in documentary and film production from the University of Missouri. M-I-Z! I’ll graduate in May 2024.

While living in the Midwest, I’ve freelanced for shoots all across the region and worked on a handful of film crews.

Though my passion is for film, I’ve been able to foster an appreciation for still photography. Some of my recent work has appeared in the Columbia Missourian newspaper and Vox Magazine. I also currently work for a local NBC affiliate, KOMU 8 News, as a floor director and live camera operator.

How can I help you?
