About this Advisor Studio
In Advisor Studio sessions, Sundance Collab Advisors share field experiences and insights into their specific areas of craft, including writing, directing and producing for TV and film.
As we find our voices and develop our style as storytellers, it’s not uncommon to struggle with self-sabotaging thoughts around our worthiness and/or capabilities as artists. For Film Producer & Executive Career Coach, Kisha Imani Cameron, Founder of Cameron Career Coaching, there are three key steps to help with feelings of imposter syndrome. Join us as Kisha guides us through what imposter syndrome is, how it manifests, and her process for creating a vision and plan to boldly move forward in your career. If you’ve ever had thoughts about not being good enough or experience a fear of failure that’s keeping you stuck, this session will give you practical tools and advice on how to navigate imposter syndrome, stop the negative thinking, and begin to build confidence as an artist.

Kisha Imani Cameron
Advisor
For decades now, Kisha Imani Cameron has walked the walk as an accomplished content producer, studio executive, champion of talent, and most recently, an accredited professional executive coach.
While the diversity of her client base is extensive, she has especially become known for her work within the BIPOC creative community. Her producing deal with Focus Features led to the creation of the “Focus Features Africa First Short Film Program”, which ushered in a new generation of African filmmakers. She also passionately works as a speaker, career, and executive coach, for clients such as Chief.com, The Sundance Institute, Chicken & Egg Pictures, Firelight Media, Refinery 29, Film Independent & Black Public Media, to name a few.
Her producing credits — which include the upcoming Mike Tyson documentary directed by Academy Award winner Geoffrey Fletcher, Spike Lee’s BAMBOOZLED and Raoul Peck’s SOMETIMES IN APRIL, and her extensive work in film development, namely with New Line Cinema and Walden Media — make her no stranger to the upper echelons of creative production, the challenges the BIPOC community face in the studio system, and the need for insiders such as herself to pass along the wisdom she has acquired over the years.
Kisha has most recently held posts as Head of Content for 4th Movement and as COO of Ghetto Film School, wanting to further impact the film community, as well as instigate positive change at the grassroots level with notable organizations.
