It all started when...
Coffee & Catchup was started in July of 2014, by San Francisco actors Cameron Mark Lewis and Taylor Lambert, as a way to connect and unite actors and filmmakers of the Bay Area and help foster a stronger entertainment community in Northern California.
C&C started out with just 3 people at the first meetup, and quickly grew to over 300 in the first year!
C&C accomplished this by serving as an in-person networking and collaboration forum, connecting actors and filmmakers with the local community, guests, and organizations from the Bay Area, to Hollywood and beyond.
Members and guests include well known casting directors, talent agents, actors, directors, producers, production companies, teachers, coaches, and more!
The Founders
Cameron Mark Lewis: Cameron started acting and modeling in 2012 and quickly discovered his passion for working behind the camera after writing, producing and directing his first project in 2014. After co-founding Coffee & Catchup the same year, Cameron continued to refine his skillset and immerse in the community, creating videos and films with agencies, tech companies and filmmakers around the Bay Area. Cameron currently works as a project manager for San Francisco creative agency Godfrey Dadich, overseeing large scale projects from conception to completion.
