Roy Camera is a narrative fiction film, using a combination of found and filmed footage. The film deals with power dynamics and new technology. In the story, we follow Roy af Hasselblad, a cinematographer who has recently immigrated to America. As a teacher of cinematography at Beaver College in beautiful upstate New York, Roy is thrilled to start a new chapter in his life. But his mysterious behavior leads some at the school to question his true identity. Is Roy really the award-winning cinematographer he claims to be? His friendship with colleague Martin Spiegel—a famous experimental filmmaker—propels Roy to create his own film, an essay film about his escape to America. This film-within-the-film soon turns out to be a key that can unlock the true nature of Roy's shadowy past. Written and directed by Jakob S.
