A Romantic Action Adventure (spoiler alert, there’s a happy ending).

Favorite movie?
Mamma Mia! because of, well, everything, including a sequel! And, I am going to give Little Big Man, an honorable mention, because it was one of the first movies that had a profound effect on me. In the movie, Dustin Hoffman, a 112-year-old man, retells the story of his life, from being raised by Native American Indians to becoming a gunslinger, and many other lives in between. It blew me away, and I decided there and then, that I was going to live my life to the fullest, trying my hand at everything. Who knows, maybe there’s still a gunslinger left in me?

A moody castle on a windswept beach in Scotland.

My nieces and nephews!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Camilla and Shanti are like the ‘Charlies Angels’ of producing.  Dynamic, charming, intelligent, fun to work with, and great problem solvers!  Suffice it to say: an Iluminatta production will always be known for delivering an efficient, well run, high quality product.

Steve Garrett DP / LD, CEO of GQC Entertainment, Inc. – https://

I am an independent casting director that has been in the business of casting film, television and commercials for nearly 20 years here in Los Angeles.  I recently had the pleasure of working with Iluminatta Films.  They were a dream team!  Very clear and specific about what they were looking for and needed from each actor/role.  They were fair and clearly understood the contractual world of commercials so made dealing with agents go very smoothly. It was also lovely to get such good feedback from actors that worked on their set: “very professional yet easy going and accommodating”. Thank you, Iluminatta Films!

Zora DeHorter CSACasting director (August 2, 2018) – https://

Shanti, the Executive Producer with Iluminatta, is easily my favorite person to work with for two main reasons… The obvious? She gets the job done! From what I’ve experienced no production phases this team, no challenge is too grand, and no task seems impossible to them. The second reason? She’s an incredible human, so you can expect a positive attitude, warmth, professionalism and friendship on top of a job well done. Iluminatta might be my go to company for any production in Brazil, but honestly I would hire them wherever and whenever possible.

I’ve shot innumerable times in Brazil and there’s no one better than Shanti or Illuminata. Period. From gigantic YouTube spots to narrative World Cup campaigns to celebrity-centric commercials, Shanti does it all. What’s more, she produces with an unparalleled verve, passion, and flair for life. Shanti is cool under pressure, and no matter how high the stakes are she’s an expert at keeping her sets safe, well-resourced, and fun. Her crew is always top notch– she knows the most effective drivers, the top security experts, the essential camera houses, always hiring incredible, bilingual locals to staff up her productions. From scouting the coolest locations to recommending the most delicious places to stop for a meal, Shanti is absolutely A+. The best Brazilian fixer, the best American producer, she can do it all. And she does it with a wonderfully contagious smile.
