IN CAMERA follows Aden (Nabhaan Rizwan), a young man who spends most of his time recording self-tapes for parts he never gets. After he receives multiple rejections for a series of nightmarish commercial auditions, he takes it upon himself to find a new part to play.

Cath Clarke

Guardian

With its dreamlike logic, looping around ideas and themes, In Camera is a disorientating film for disorienting times; opaque and enigmatic, scratching to get under the skin.

Rated: 3/5

Hopefully In Camera provides plenty more opportunities for Khalid and Rizwan, who so richly deserve them based on the strength of this feature.

A stylish, surreal satire probing the nightmarish plight faced by working British-Asian actors in an apathetic industry.

Radio Times

With Rizwan excelling throughout, this ambitious, audacious, acute, and occasionally angry treatise on identity, performance, and preconceptions doubles as a lament for the dehumanising soullessness of modern life.

Rated: 4/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

[...] interesting, incisive and – above all – assured. Khalid knows the story he wants to tell and mostly pulls off the balance between challenging material and visuals. It is another strong debut from a British filmmaker forging their own unique path.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Skinny

The film is at its best when Khalid lets us sit in a discomfiting moment... In Camera doesn’t always hang together, but when it snaps into focus it’s an audacious and exciting picture to experience.

Rated: 3/5

Superficial, hollow. A wasted occasion. A waste of acting talent.
