Cameron Krogh Stone

Cameron Krogh Stone was born on March 5, 1994, in London, England, to Paul Stone, a writer and strategy consultant, and Hanna Krogh Stone, a writer, homeopath and therapist. Cameron has a younger sister, Kristin, an artist. His father is English, and his mother is Norwegian with Swedish ancestry. The family lived in London until 1998 before moving to Stockholm, Sweden. As a boy, Krogh Stone performed in a number of theatrical and musical productions at school, winning several talent competitions as a singer. This is also where he made his first short films using his parents' camcorder, and began learning foreign languages. At weekends, he and his sister would perform at the Scandinavian International Theatre School. At age 15, he became the youngest ever laureate of the Ambassador's Prize at the Chinese Bridge Competition, Stockholm, earning him a scholarship for a year of university studies in China. This led to him attending the Beijing Language and Culture University in China, aged 16. While there, he had his first TV experiences: Having learnt to wield Nunchakus and Wing Chun on campus, he was invited to perform on several shows for Beijing Television, which included the Rising Stars Chinese New Year Show (2010) and The Strongest Lineup (2011). Cameron majored in Drama at high school, where, alongside his acting training, he began to discover the world off-stage. Learning lighting, sound and set design by assisting on other productions, he eventually began directing and producing his own short pieces. This is also where he met fellow actor and friend Michael Hillberg. Around this time Cameron landed a leading role in "FAME, the Musical" at the Maxim Theatre in Stockholm. Later, Krogh Stone moved to London to do a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (SOAS). While at SOAS, he continued to perform in as well as direct and produce theatrical productions, and began seeking industry training outside campus. This included work experience at Movietech Camera Rentals, where he got to learn all there was about high-end camera equipment. He also took a short course at the London Film Academy, where he learned to work with analogue formats, shooting on Super16mm. It was also during this time that Cameron got his first break as a voice actor on Eddie the Eagle (2015), through the recommendation of Michael Hillberg, who, himself having already been cast, knew they needed another Scandinavian actor. This has led to a string of voice acting jobs, with Krogh Stone and Hillberg often collaborating. As his final project while at SOAS, Cameron produced a rendition of Mike Bartlett's stage play "Bull" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which garnered both positive reviews and a positive haul at the box office. At this point, Krogh Stone decided to focus his efforts towards directing and learning the ins and outs of all the departments on set. This was what brought him back to the London Film Academy for the Practical Filmmaking Diploma, where he got to experience everything from being a Sound Mixer to Script Supervisor to Cinematographer. This also gave him ample opportunity to gain valuable on-screen acting training by performing in his colleagues' short films, and he continued to voice act on the likes of Mute (2018) and The Etruscan Smile (2018), and work on other short films outside his studies. Just before graduating, Cameron got his first production breakthrough as the lead producer of TVCs for Neymar and Dani Alves, and shortly afterwards began working for Particle 6 Productions as producer / director. While there, he has helped produce and co-direct several educational and comedy series for the BBC, including BBC Three's Crazy Science (2019), BBC Teach: WWII (2019) and BBC Bitesize: GCSE Business (2019). Alongside this, Cameron continued to write, direct and produce his own short films. Throughout this time and until this day, Krogh Stone continues to nurture and expand his language abilities, which has enabled him to speak 7 languages fluently, including Mandarin Chinese, French, Spanish and Danish. He also speaks several others at conversational level, including Arabic, Japanese and Asante Twi. In total, he has performed and created in over 16 languages as an actor and filmmaker, and hopes to keep adding to that tally, to allow him to better communicate with and tell stories to the world.
