CAMERON DEAN BLACKWOOD’S
DIGITAL PORTFOLIO

I am always looking for my next story.

I’ve looked darn near everywhere.

I started in Kansas City when I was a little kid.

I’d be jumping on a trampoline, and I’d look up and pretend a whole new dimension was in the sky.

When I was 12, I’d look around me, because I moved to Casablanca, Morocco, and saw stormy and plunging Fez alleyways, Sahara sands on camelback, an eel-plagued necropolis outside Rabat.

When I was in high school, I’d look within me, because every self-respecting high school student thinks they’re the most important person in the world.

I had moved to Shenzhen, China, and started in the theater department at my school.

I pretended to be an evil wizard, an insecure hero, Cedric Diggory, and Chandler from Friends.

Then I came to Chicago for college, and I started making things other people could look at.

I wrote and directed short films about a man keeping his soul in a box, a con artist telling her life story direct-to-camera, a mostly silent relationship that completely changes when one of them finally talks to the other… 

I also wrote and directed a 1920s period piece screwball comedy short film (release date TBA) that I’m very excited about (pictured: excitement).

A lot of my work is on this site, so click around, and if you like what you see…
