Hi Kim, please tell us a little about you?
What a loaded question! Well, I guess I will start off with the basics. I am a singer, songwriter and a filmmaker!
Describe yourself in 3 words?
A Hopeless Romantic
How did you get started into acting?
I guess when I was in high school, I began musical theater and had some interest in the stage. When I hit my adult years, I was asked to appear in a variety of small low budget films, a few TV shows and a number of commercials.
How has this changed your life?
I am not sure I have done enough acting to tout that I am an ‘actress’ but the skills are truly invaluable. Having the ability, of which I am still learning, to jump in the middle of the story and become a convincing part of it is a true art. I feel so alive when I am around my fellow actors who can pull off that art form so effortlessly.
What is the best and worst part of being an actress?
Oh, that is an easy question….best part is definitely the experience. Transforming yourself into a character and the chance to be someone or something else is unique. The worst is when you are not very good at it!
Tell us about your work in Seaper Powers?
What began as an audio book project, quickly morphed into a 5 -book audio and book series, which has subsequently morphed into a full-length animated feature film.
How do you prepare for a role?
My part, besides the Director, Producer and Writer, was also the narrator. Not a big role, acting wise, because I really wanted to focus on the Directing portion of the movie. Sometimes if you are too close to a project, you may mis judge your acting craft for a specific project. But, the Directing role has been an amazing experience, and addictive.
What other projects have you been part of?
I believe I have too many projects. Besides numerous collaborations with music producers, DJs and other songwriters around the globe, I also focus on the children’s side of things with my book series and mentoring work with a non-profit here in Miami.
You are debuting your film premier of ‘Seaper Powers’! Congratulations! What is the biggest reward this movie has given you?
Finishing it! Four years….yes, this project began four years ago and to see it finished is amazing. We have already received 27 awards at various film festivals, so I am super honored to have this new work already acknowledged.
What kind of roles do you like or would like to play and why?
I would love to play a role that involved comedy. I may not have the skills to pull it off, but I would love to try.
Now on the music side, describe your sound in 3 words?
Keep on Dancin’
Who influenced you and why did you choose to make music?
Probably my parents. While they never played music, they were definitely music fans and always pushed me in that direction.
Do you play any instrument?
I grew up playing the clarinet. I am learning guitar now and have a tiny bit of keyboard experience. This is an area I need to work harder at.
Do you ever get nervous?
Always!
What is the most rewarding part of your work?
Making people smile.
How would your best friend describe you?
Gosh, I don’t know! I would hope they would describe me as kindhearted and always thinking of others. And, if they do not, then I need to try harder on those areas!
What’s next for Kim Cameron in 2021?
Begin writing the Seaper Powers Movie Sequel!
What is your favorite healthy food?
I am a sushi nut. Love fish and the entire Japanese cuisine.
And your favorite cheat food?
French Fries.
How would you explain your fashion style?
Girly bohemian with sparkles.
What is your own definition of happiness?
Being surrounded by good friends, great wine and good food.
If you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why?
Audrey Hepburn because she had this amazing fashion sense and could light up the camera effortlessly.
Best advice ever given?
Forget about quitting.
Do you support any charity?
I do! Guitars Over Guns is one of them. I was also a mentor for the organization for the past 6 years. They really try to elevate inner city at risk kids to the next level.
Where do you see yourself and your career in 5 years from now?
I am hoping to hold up awards for several animation films!
What do you think of Social Media?
It has its place, but I find it’s losing some of it’s ‘funness.’
