The Lens Within Me

It doesn't just record. It decides what matters.

IMDbDrama

A Long Island film student who, at thirteen, erased his dying father's cough from the family home movies spends four years making a documentary about everyone but himself — until one festival slot, a rival's film, and the footage he's been cutting force him to choose between the safe version and the true one.
