Jeremy Campbell is an EMMY-nominated television journalist and a documentary filmmaker.

He's filed stories everywhere from the coast of California to the source of the Nile River in Africa.  In 2010 he followed a group of humanitarians to Uganda the day after a terrorist bombing killed more than 70 people in Kampala.  He broadcast live from the 2009 Obama Inauguration in Washington D.C. and from both the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions. 

Soon after joining the WTVT news team in Tampa his career reached new heights when he covered a story by free falling from 13,000 feet alongside the U.S. Army's skydiving team.

Campbell's reporting career began in the winds of change that blew across the Gulf Coast with Hurricane Katrina in 2005.   He was working behind-the-scenes at WGNO in New Orleans when he shot a documentary about life during the first six months after the storm.  Campbell transformed the film footage into a series of news reports.  That collection of stories led him to a Reporter/Anchor position at KLFY in Lafayette, LA.  At KLFY Campbell provided extensive reports on the recovery effort along the Louisiana coast during the two years following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. 

In 2010 Campbell was honored with the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for "Best Feature Reporting" across a four-state region.   He earned two EMMY nominations that year, including "Outstanding Achievement in Writing."  In 2009 he was named "Best Reporter" in the state by the Alabama Broadcasters Association while serving dual-duties as a Reporter/Photographer at WBMA in Birmingham.  He has also received several awards from the Louisiana Associated Press.  

Campbell founded ten18films in 2001.  Since then he's released half a dozen documentaries focusing on Louisiana culture.  The films have screened in select theaters nationwide and on the web.  In 2002 Campbell founded the New Orleans FLICKER Film Festival.  For three years FLICKER provided a venue for more than 100 aspiring filmmakers.  ten18films appeared on Gambit Weekly's "Best of New Orleans" list in 2004.  By age 27 Campbell was named among New Orleans top "Forty Under Forty" by the same publication. 

Campbell's career began at WSWS in Opelika, Alabama when he was a sophomore at Auburn University.  He co-hosted "The Lori & Jeremy Show," a late night talk show that was also one of the first entertainment programs webcast online.  The duo interviewed Cyndi Lauper, Liz Phair, The Flaming Lips, The Cardigans and many other entertainers on location in Atlanta, Las Vegas, Birmingham, New Orleans and more.
