Michael Camerini shoots, directs and produces films and documentary series that have moved across geographical and subject areas as diverse as women's rights and social change in India (Dadi's Family; Kamala and Raji) and the struggle to balance religious and cultural identity with mainstream values in the United States (Born Again; Becoming the Buddha in L.A.). His approach to filmmaking is notable for a camera technique that is fluid and non-intrusive, and a style of filming that encourages people to tell their own stories, whatever the cultural context. His interest in what it means to be a foreigner is the unifying theme in his work.
