Sunrise Films and Together Films are set to release Naqqash Khlalid’s acclaimed IN CAMERA starring EE BAFTA Rising Star Award Nominee Nabhan Rizwan on U.S. VOD platforms on April 29, 2025.

IN CAMERA follows Aden – played by Rizwan – a young actor who is in a cycle of nightmarish auditions. After he receives multiple rejections, Aden takes it upon himself to find a new part to play. Rizwan was previously named as a Screen Star of Tomorrow in 2019; recognition shared by BAFTA-winning Amir El-Masry (2021)  who also stars in the film, and writer-director Naqqash Khalid (2020). Formally playful and fiercely charged, Naqqash Khalid’s debut about a struggling British Asian actor confronts film industry prejudice and social hypocrisy head-on.

The film is produced by BAFTA-winning producer Mary Burke of Public Dreams and Juliette Larthe as a first title for Pure Phase and with the UK arm of UK-US production firm Prettybird.  IN CAMERA is financed by BBC Film and the BFI (awarding National Lottery funding), in association with Uncommon Creative Studio.
