Twenty-something Aden dreams of becoming a successful actor, but the nightmarish grind of the audition circuit, with its callous rejections and upsetting micro-aggressions, is starting to take its toll. His flatmate, junior doctor Bo is also stressed to the point of burnout. But then, newcomer Conrad joins them, and – inspired by Conrad’s optimism and assurance – Aden takes it upon himself to find a new part to play.
A striking debut feature from Manchester-based filmmaker Naqqash Khalid, In Camera is full of pointed notes about an industry rife with prejudice and hypocrisy. Candid and acidly funny, with an unsettling eye for the warped and bizarre, it’s a playful satire of showbusiness and modern life, with a complex central performance from rising star Nabhaan Rizwan.
