Behind the Camera is an ongoing series featuring a first-run film with  in-person conversations with directors, actors, writers, producers and other members of the filmmaking team.

This series was created to afford our film community the unique opportunity to see behind-the-camera live, as we explore the creative process of bringing script to screen

Press:

"Enhancing its appeal, the Cameo recently launched a cinematic exploration series titled “Behind the Camera” that further elevates the charm of this intimate, velvet-seated movie theater in the heart of the Napa Valley.  From the initial concept to the polished final product, the series offers a window into the craft that transforms compelling narratives into cinematic art."  -

--Tim Carl, Napa Valley Features

The series is moderated by Cathy Buck, Creative Director and owner of the Cameo Cinema.
