. The drama revolves around a young boy who can’t speak and is bullied until a friendship emerges with an old camera repairman played by Bridges. Alongside news of the acquisition, VMI also revealed that they would be releasing the film on digital and cable-on-demand platforms on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.
Camera is directed by Jay Silverman from a screenplay written by Jamie Murphy and Joe Gamache. Alongside Bridges, the film also stars Miguel Gabriel , Jessica Parker Kennedy, Bruce Davison, Ross Partridge, Kitty Swink, Jorge-Luis Pallo, Scotty Tovar, and Connie Jackson. “While my background as a photographer convinced me to pick up the script, it was my experience as a father that kept me turning the page and moved me beyond words. Having raised a child born with impaired speech, it was easy for me to relate to the story’s young protagonist, Oscar, and the older man who sees his artistic potential and dedicates himself to sharing it with the world. Their friendship is the beating heart of Camera,” stated director Jay Silverman.
Jessica Russo, VMI COO and Head of Acquisitions, added: “Told through the beautifully crafted lens of Jay Silverman, Camera beautifully showcases a heartfelt story about a courageous child navigating life with speech impairment. We are proud to bring this movie to American audiences, celebrating resilience and the power of communication in all its forms.”Anthony Nash
