Feature
Camera Shy
2020 • Canada
A young Vancouver City Councilor named Larry Coyle gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is offered a shot at a federal seat. So what if it hinges on Larry fixing the permits for a shady real estate developer who plans to build luxury condos on contaminated land.
But political corruption doesn’t seem to be an issue for Larry. Neither it seems is infidelity. Or having to convince his wife to stay with him by bribing their recently adopted Vietnamese children with the promise of a backyard swimming pool. What does get Larry worried, though, is the cameraman who shows up and starts filming his every move, determined to get the truth out.
The truth, however, may be that Larry’s gone insane. Because no one else can see the cameraman except Larry.
