World-renowned director, writer, and producer, James Cameron has invented memorable worlds and fantasies that continue to make history. Cameron, the son of an engineer and artist, attended Cal State Fullerton after his family moved to California when he was 17. He majored in engineering; however, uncertain about his life path, dropped out of the university, married, and drove a truck to earn money that would eventually buy him filming materials. Cameron pursued his interest in cinematic art, after seeing Star Wars, and spent hours in the library at the University of Southern California studying filming techniques. After many difficult gigs under various directors, Cameron decided to take his ideas and make them his own. He finally got his big break with the 1984 film, The Terminator, and has been especially successful recently with his latest release of the hit, Avatar. Cameron has won over a dozen awards for his visionary work.
