Cameron Purcell and Kelly Kanavas join DreamFlare to drive development and creative.
Recently launched DreamFlare AI announced the hires of Cameron Purcell as Vice President of Development and Kelly Kanavas as Creative Executive. The pair have deep roots in the film and TV industry, with Cameron Purcell's executive background at several major studios and Kelly Kanavas’s expertise in creative development and animation.
With over a decade in the film industry, Cameron Purcell has held key roles at Universal Pictures, Annapurna, and MGM, focusing on content strategy and distribution. At Krafton, he established the first global entertainment studio vertical, capitalizing on the company's rich gaming IP portfolio. He is also the founder of For The Story Entertainment, which is dedicated to pioneering innovative storytelling with artists and brands.
Kelly Kanavas joins the DreamFlare AI team from Netflix where she helped develop animated film content. Kanavas also has a long history in the entertainment industry, holding positions at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Paramount Animation, and CAA.
In Purcell’s eyes, “DreamFlare stands at the intersection of technology and artistry, providing a space where creators can harness AI to push boundaries. The company is deliberately crafted to enrich the entire entertainment ecosystem, expanding the creative possibilities to partner with industry talent and discover all new opportunities for creators and audiences alike. Our mission is to support and amplify the human element of storytelling, making every collaboration a testament to innovation and artistic integrity.”
Meanwhile, Kanavas is most excited about how the tech can benefit struggling artists. “Many creatives have all but given up on a career in Hollywood. With DreamFlare, these talented individuals can bring their stories to life for an audience in a whole new medium - while developing expertise in an important emerging technology. New tools enable opportunities to tell stories in truly new ways, and we are excited to see what storytellers from around the world dream up."
The hiring move news follows DreamFlare AI’s explosive launch out of stealth earlier this month with $1.65M in pre-seed funding from FoundersX Ventures and others. DreamFlare already has 20 hours of content and is working with dozens of filmmakers creating in the space.
