The sadly under-promoted and ill-attended 2007 Brooklyn International Film Festival did introduce us to "Nicky's Birthday Camera," and for that we are grateful. The look, performances and impact of this "little film" belie the modest budget and vividly showcase the talent involved. The acting ensemble is uniformly excellent (including some first-time young performers). The quality of the filming is first-rate; and the storytelling device a film within a film is extremely effective and seductively draws one into an increasingly suspenseful plot line. An impressive film debut for longtime theatre director Andrew J. Traister. Hope this film becomes available on DVD.
