In Camera is a bold and creative debut feature for Naqqash Khalid, and one that is perfectly aligned to its leading man, the exciting talent Nabhaan Rizwan. At last year’s London Film Festival, where this film premiered, we had the pleasure in speaking to the aforementioned actor, to discuss a project that now has a UK release – on September 13th.
The film, which offers a unique and resourceful means of storytelling, and blurs the line between reality and fiction, is a project that remains close to home for Rizwan, such is the connection to acting, and in particular, the early stages of a career. He talks about the project in depth and also looking across his own work to date, and his plans for the future.

Synopsis
The boundaries between the “real” and the imaginary get blurred, intertwined, and redefined in this British debut that traces the path of a young actor determined to take center stage in his own life. Tired of awkward auditions, repeated rejections, and playing dead bodies in TV series, Aiden decides it’s time to take on a new role, away from the cameras, wanting to construct the narrative of his life himself. And probably without being prepared for the consequences. In a world where even our own self-image may often seem like a construct, In Camera unfolds as a moral and intellectual puzzle about the fragmented nature of modern existence and even reality itself. A sardonic and often humorous, existential quasi-thriller about the roles we are called upon to play and the fluid, disorienting nature of the here-and-now.
In Camera is released on September 13th
