About In Camera

This bold and delightfully unpredictable film from Naqqash Khalid both highlights and critiques the challenges of navigating the UK film industry as a British Asian actor.

Aden, a struggling actor in his twenties, is caught in a cycle of nightmarish auditions and demoralising gigs. He shares his flat with Bo, a junior doctor suffering from burnout. They gain a new flatmate when Conrad moves in, a suave fashion influencer and stylist who’s positively brimming with self-confidence. As he observes how Conrad moves through the world, Aden decides to create a new role for himself.

This witty feature debut playfully blends elements of surrealism and satire, while offering sharp commentaries on the economic struggles and racial microaggressions encountered in the UK film industry.
