About this user

Our production team has worked with the Los Angeles Fire Department for the past six years, and with the LAFD Museum and Memorial since 2002. We are producing a feature-length documentary on the history of the LAFD.

Cameron Barrett is a classically trained journalist and award-winning documentarian with more than two decades of storytelling experiences to her credit.

Her career began as a broadcast journalist. She covered Capital Hill while still a Masters student, and then moved on to general assignment reporting and anchoring in small market affiliates in the Northeast, eventually promoting to News Director. She took her experiences on the news desk and applied them to the classroom, teaching at St. Josephs College, the University of Miami and the top five journalism program at the Grady College of Journalism at the University of Georgia.

Award-winning producer and director David Barrett has a long history of creating media using new technologies, while retaining the core values of good storytelling. The son of Academy Award-winning producer Terry Sanders, David begin his media career as the CEO of Aegis Development, publishing animation software (now known as Lightwave 3D from NewTek) and developing short videos involving auto racing. Within a few years, David was producing and directing motorsports programming for FOX Sports Net, and editing music videos for VH1 and MTV. He was executive producer of the first broadcast video (Only a Womans Heart by Eleanor McEvoy) produced completely on the desktop, featuring the first release of Adobe Premiere and the Apple Macintosh.

Concurrently, David worked closely with Apple and their New Media team to help evolve and promote the concept of "desktop video." He was a consultant to Radius, and was actively involved in the marketing and sales promotions surrounding the VideoVision product line. He named and was a marketing consultant for the "VideoVision Telecast" product and created the initial training materials for Final Cut Pro for Apple Computer, as well a coordinating and managing Apple's return to NAB and Siggraph in 1995.

The interest in documenting the history of the LAFD began in 2001 when Cameron and David toured the just-opened LAFD Museum and Memorial in Hollywood. David spent time there as a child when his father produced and directed a documentary on LAFD Captain Alan Evanson.

During the past few years, the production team headed up by Cameron and David has produced a series of training and education video programs, both in conjunction with the LAFD and with other foundations, including the William Rolland Firefighter Foundation.

The feature documentary "SMOKE EATERS" is now in production and already, there are more than 100 hours of incident and action HD video, hundreds of historic stills, and a wealth of content, much of it never before seen by the public.

This channel will provide the inside story on the production of the film, will highlight interesting and dramatic footage shot on location, and will hopefully make you a prospective viewer and supporter of the film and related programs.
