Kema Charles, Founder and Executive Director of Lights, Camera, Discover, moved from Orlando, Florida, to Hollywood to chase her dreams of becoming an actress on the big screen.

However, she quickly realized that she preferred a career working behind the camera in the film industry. Through the ups and downs of life in the film business, Charles learned that she wanted to help young people discover their passion for the art of filmmaking. Eventually, she created her own nonprofit that exposes kids across the Phoenix area to TV, film, and production.
