Camden Love/Hate

Producer: The Camden Film Project

The Camden Film Project is an ongoing collaboration between Dim Mak Films and the Camden Center for Youth Development, in Camden NJ. For the past year we have been working with a group of students from the school, opening their eyes to the power they have through visual storytelling. Camden Love/Hate is a documentary that conveys the difficulty of living in a city known for homicides and drugs, and the effects on the residents and youth growing up in that environment.

Ron began his career in the print and new media industries. Ron was the owner and editor in chief of two free tourist magazines in Israel, IT and The Traveler. In early 2000, Ron began his first film project, 100 meter, a documentary about the underground techno scene in Israel. At the same time he co-wrote and acted in a short film with Daniel Meirom entitled FUCKING TROUBLE. Following this experience Ron decided his place was behind the camera with Meirom. Their first project as Dim Mak , THE PROPHECY, has become a backdrop to a creative relationship which led them to found Dim Mak Films.

Daniel Meirom has been working with film his entire life. His early films, ALL BEGINNINGS and A SHAPE TO THE FLOWER, were award winners at the Jerusalem Film Festivals in 1993 and 1996. In 1997, Daniel moved on to his first TV project, the youth series GREEN, which was broadcast on ITV in 1997 and 1998. Following the production of SECRETS for Channel 2, and the creation of a commercial for the 2001 Jerusalem Film Festival, Daniel began a three year stint at Tel Ad studios in Jerusalem as a promotions director. He found the time to shoot the independent short FUCKING TROUBLE in 2001. Before moving to America he directed several educational films for Fox Kids in Israel. In 2003, Daniel and Ron founded Dim Mak Films.
