LOST IN REGINA TRAILER

Camille is currently wrapping up her experimental feature Double Blade, loosely based off the film “The Double Life of Veronique” a Kieślowski Film, whom Camille’s work is heavily influenced by. Camille and her youngest daughter Blade (5) garnered the esteemed award for her music video and song , A Best Friend, (song co-written by Camille Solari & Deedee O’Malley) at The European Music Video Awards. The film was quoted as “cinematically epic.”

A BEST FRIEND

Camille’s favorite films and television are quite classic, Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Stanley Kubrik’s The Shining, and Lucille Ball’s ‘I Love Lucy.’ She and her family, particularly her youngest, Blade, love to indulge in cult classic films such as, ‘The Creature From The Black Lagoon,’ and ‘Attack of The Killer Tomatoes’ to name a couple. 

Camille, “I love working with with kids and funny people, but often putting them into an off-setting environment. The music and look is everything to me in whatever I do. I’ve always been inspired by vintage objects and saturated colors…” And finally to add to the pile, Camille also came in first place for her feature screenplay ‘Bling’ at the Los Angeles Script Awards.
