CampSight Studios is an award-winning production company focused on narrative and unscripted films elevating the diverse perspectives of minority voices. CampSight is also the parent company to BandoFest (bandofest.com).

Founded by Dennis Williams II and Jesse S. Martin, CampSight Studios garnered wider indie recognition for the first time with the award-winning short, Note to Self, an official selection of the HollyShorts Film Festival, LA CineFest, Charlotte Film Festival and the Jack Daniels Film Fest, while winning the NYC Indie Film Awards.

Our project, Clout, is an academy-award qualifying short starring Denzel Whitaker (Black Panther, The Great Debaters). Clout was accepted into Vanishing Angle’s Short to Feature Lab, a fellowship based in Malibu, CA, founded by Sundance alum Jim Cummings. We’re focused on the pre-production of the feature adaptation of Clout.

We also have a grassroots initiative, powering workshops in under privileged communities:
