Camille DeBose

Camille DeBose, Professor of Practice, is an award-winning filmmaker with a Masters degree in Sociology and an MFA in Cinema. She takes an academic approach to the exploration of social forces through the analysis and production of film. Her first documentary film, ‘Good Hair’ and other Dubious Distinctions sparked conversation on intra-cultural racism and the “othering” which occurs inside one’s own community. Her second film, On Fathers and Sons and Love explored the lives of four generations of men through the lens of the Harvard Grant Study. Prompting conversations on the role love plays in the lives of men and their families. DePaul magazine noted: "The film turns a sharp eye on the ways masculinity is challenged and altered by the experience of fatherhood."  Her current projects include a collaborative documentary shedding light on challenges faced by the Navajo (Diné) Nation as they fight to contend with the legacy of uranium mining.  She is also in production on an experimental (in method) narrative film within the gothic mystery genre. Her work is often an exploratory conversation on the philosophical Sublime and the Black imagination.
