about us
ISLANDIA is helmed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Cameron Mullenneaux. Her directorial debut, Exit Music, explores the ethical and existential challenges at the end-of-life through the eyes of a young artist with cystic fibrosis. Exit Music premiered at Hot Docs Film Festival, was broadcast on PBS, and is distributed on Amazon Prime. Cameron directed Angelique, a short film about an accomplished high school student who secretly struggled with housing insecurity and her mother’s mental health. It was acquired by Conde Nast/Glamour and nominated for a News and Doc Emmy in 2018. While living in San Francisco, she was an SFFILM FilmHouse artist resident, served as a creative producer for Masterclass, and senior story editor for OMGYES. Cameron received an MFA in film from Wake Forest University and a BA in death and dying studies from Warren Wilson College. She has 2 kids and lives in Ventura, CA.
