Camera Shy
Camera Shy is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Mark Sawers and released in 2012. The film stars Nicolas Wright as Larry Coyle, a Vancouver City Council member who endorses a waterfront casino proposal in exchange for the developer's assistance in supporting his own political ambitions to become a member of Parliament, only to then become aware that his every action is being followed by a cameraman that nobody else can see.

The film was a Vancouver Film Critics Circle award nominee for Best British Columbia Film at the Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards 2012. It won six Leo Awards in 2013, for Best Motion Picture, Best Director (Sawers), Best Supporting Actor (Plunkett), Best Screenwriting in a Feature Length Drama (Sawers, Doug Barber), Best Cinematography (Brian Johnson) and Best Musical Score (Don MacDonald).
