Deborah Kampmeier Biography

Deborah Kampmeier is one of the most popular and richest Director who was born on November 21, 1964 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States.

Kampmeier’s film Hounddog debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2007 in the dramatic category, where it was nominated for the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize. It also met with a significant amount of controversy over its content. The film features a 12-year-old girl named Lewellen played by Dakota Fanning, who lives with her “abusive father and alcoholic grandmother”. The inclusion of a non-graphic rape scene caused Christian film critics and activists to negatively comment on the film, with it being called “child abuse” and Bill Donohue calling for a federal investigation against Kampmeier. Donohue stated that the film was breaking anti-pornography laws and that Dakota Fanning was being exploited.

Kampmeier is passionate about creating films that tell women’s stories. She thinks that films showing women’s stories are not better or worse than men’s stories, but different. In an interview with Jan Lisa Huttner on March 11th, 2015, Kampmeier spoke about her film Virgin. The film is about a woman, Jessie, and her experience with date rape. In the interview, Kampmeier said that “one of the criticisms [she] hear[s] a lot is that there are no sympathetic male characters in Virgin”. She also mentioned she had difficulty distributing the movie because when she explained that her target audience was women, she was told that “women aren’t a ‘demographic,’ at least not a demographic you can market to. Boyfriends and husbands make the decisions”. She concludes that all of the roadblocks she faced in finding a distributer for Virgin cemented her desire to put the experience of being a woman on screen.
