Cameron Scheetz is a Los Angeles-based entertainment media multi-hyphenate with over 10 years of industry experience.
Currently, Cameron serves as the Entertainment Editor for Queerty, where he leads editorial strategy for the site’s Entertainment vertical — overseeing all coverage of LGBTQ+ media & pop culture via a diverse network of staff contributors & freelancers — hosts The Queerty Interview video & podcast series, and spearheads the site’s tentpole features and events, including the annual Queerties Awards.
Previously, Cameron worked as a producer, writer, and on-air talent for The A.V. Club, frequently interviewing celebrities, artists, and industry insiders to get the deeper story behind the pop culture everyone’s talking about. Additionally, Cameron has managed the social media presence of The A.V. Club, developed film and television concepts with the writers of The Onion and ClickHole, built and presented pitch decks to major studios, and launched a podcast with The A.V. Club’s Marah Eakin, a weekly Riverdale recap podcast called Dial M For Maple.
In 2020, Cameron wrote and produced The A.V. Club’s docuseries, Why We Love: Pride Edition, a four-part exploration into the mainstream pop culture that made a lasting impact on young queer audiences. Created entirely during quarantine, the series launched during Pride Month, and featured interviews with leading LGBTQ+ voices in entertainment, as well as academics and queer theorists who help us answer the pivotal question, “Why did we love that so much?”
