Love Song Signs Camille Summers-Valli

Production company Love Song has signed director and photographer Camille Summers-Valli to their distinctive roster of talent. Born in Bangkok, raised in Nepal, and now based in Paris, French-Australian Summers-Valli was the winner of the Ad Age Creativity Awards 2022 director to watch and has worked across film genres, ranging from commercials and music videos, to high-end fashion shorts, art films, and award-winning editorial for The New York Times.

After studying Video Art in London at the internationally-renowned Central St Martins, Camille began working as a filmmaker and fashion photographer. Since then, her aptitude for dynamic visual storytelling has earned Camille an impressive list of legacy brand clients, including Nike, Adidas, Chanel, Burberry, Gucci, Versace, Hermes, and Jean Paul Gaultier. Her work has also been featured in editorial magazines such as Vogue, Dazed, and more.

Inspired by her love for art and nature, Camille’s films are visually stimulating and boundary-pushing. In 2022, the short film 'The Truth Takes a Journalist,' directed by Camille for The New York Times, won D&AD Pencils for Art Direction and Editing. Colourful, rich, and kinetic, the film depicts the complex, hopeful, turbulent, and rewarding lives of the reporters who make the daily newspaper and celebrates their humanity. The same year, 'Body Language,' directed by Camille for Vogue, won a Silver award for Fashion Film at the Ciclope Festival. In the film, Camille explores the winding, bewildering, and often bumpy road of body acceptance within the fashion industry.

“Camille is a thoughtful storyteller and artist whose work is beyond intriguing, with a clear understanding of how to draw emotional subtleties from talent so even in the most fashion forward piece, there is a beautiful emotional thread and she makes you FEEL,” says Kelly Bayett, founder of Love Song. “I loved the work, but once I met her I was so captivated by who she is, her incredibly rich personal history and her openness and compassion which is all so evident in her work. We’re ecstatic for her to join our roster of brilliant collaborative storytellers and create impactful work that keeps people talking.”

“I’m really excited by the culture Kelly and Daniel have built at Love Song,” says Camille. “Feels like a healthy, collaborative and much needed development in the short form film world, and I’m thrilled to grow my work with them as my allies.”

Love Song was founded by Kelly Bayett and Daniel Wolfe.
