Camilla Denton Becket, Producer
With a political awakening forged during the Soweto Riots of 1976, South African born Camilla spent the 1980s with progressive publishers that championed the work of such anti-apartheid heroes as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. In America she worked for several publishers, booksellers and authors variously ghost writing, editing, reviewing and promoting books—mostly in the areas of self-help and health. Then, in the early days of her daughter Lydia's diagnosis of epilepsy, she realized that more than a book, an educational, "self-help" film could demonstrate quickly and visually what the disease was about. So she and Jim collaborated on their first project together, and Camilla has since co-produced, co-directed and/or edited several non-fiction films. In 2007 she won her first Telly Award.
