Film Industry Prejudice Drama ‘In Camera’ Lands North American Deal Following BAFTA Nod for Star Nabhaan Rizwan (EXCLUSIVE)
Sunrise Films acquires North American rights to Naqqash Khalid's debut 'In Camera' starring BAFTA Rising Star nominee Nabhaan Rizwan.
BAFTA winner Amir El-Masry (“2021”) rounds out the cast of the formally inventive drama that takes aim at film industry prejudice and social hypocrisy through the lens of a struggling British Asian actor’s experience. “Self-reflexive satirical filmmaking of this nature is relatively rare on the British independent scene — perhaps, in part, because financing and producing features at all is such a strenuous endeavor that artists are loath to bite any of the various hands feeding them,” wrote Guy Lodge, reviewing the film for Variety. “’In Camera’ is notable as a debut for the gutsy, darkly hilarious accuracy of its take on an industry where people of color are still patronized as interchangeable quota-fillers, and where notions of ‘authenticity’ are commodified to the extent that they become entirely imitative poses.”
