🎬 SUBMIT YOUR FILM ➔ https://shortverse.com/submit In the late '90s, a newly immigrated cameraman desperate to restart his career must decide whether to risk his family's savings on a stranger's offer. _Cameraman_ Dir. Arsalan Motavali https://www.arsalanmotavali.com/ https://www.instagram.com/arsalanmotavali/ "At its heart, this is a film about hope, and is filled with a sense of warmth. The family unit is captured with love, the color palette, the placement of the camera and the framing all working together to create a sense of unity and support. The chemistry between the actors makes them instantly likeable, and when the situation with the camera creates tension between them, we feel for all of them rather than taking sides." - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan READ THE FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2026/06/15/cameraman/ *CREDITS* Written & Directed by: Arsalan Motavali Starring: Sia Alipour as MASOUD Isabella Nefar as FARZANEH Martin Bassindale as JAMIE Ayla Behresi as AYLA Produced by: Precious Mahaga, Hayley Williams, Harry Chambers Executive Producers: Sam Ritzenberg, Bennett McGhee, Arsalan Motavali Director of Photography: Ebba Hult Production Designer: Rana Fadavi Costume Designer: Stina Campagna Hair and Makeup Designer: Sogol Razi Edited by: Sadaf Nazari, Jean-Philippe Blunt Casting Directors: Shaheen Baig, Naomi Jalil Original Music by: Ben Stanbridge BFI NETWORK Executive Producer: Jo Cadoret Head of BFI NETWORK: Alice Cabañas Project Coordinator: Niamh Coogan Production Manager: Jamila Hardy First Assistant Director: Top Tarasin Art Director: Max Stranger Art Assistant: Keelin Coyle First Assistant Camera: Robert Stanton Second Assistant Camera: Casey Grosso, Jessica Averbeck Key Grip: George Ashley Johnson Sound Recordist and Mixer: Jon Gibson Gaffer: Charlie Lodge Sparks: Alexander Styles, Johanna Sibrian, Justin Cheung, Amélie-Ash Clain Online Editor & Data Wrangler: Mossie Cassidy Stills Photography: Roshad Van Der Pool, Clémentine Vidal Production Assistants: Clémentine Vidal, Ben Heath Runner: Atana Motavali Chaperone: Mounes Davanizadeh Catering: Just Cos Catering Sound Design and Mix: Tom Keats Colorist: Finlay Reid Additional Mix: Alex Wilson Thame Foley Artist: Richard Barber Audio Producer: Natasha Redhead Sound Facility: Grand Central Post VFX Artists: David Horsbugh, Chris Dunleavy Title Design: Arsalan Motavali, Luke Faulkner Reproduced on this channel with the permission of the filmmakers.
