- April MacIntyre, Monsters and Critics Cameron longs to be an important filmmaker, but thus far it seems he is more likely to end up in prison than in Hollywood. At a revival movie house, Cameron enlists the reluctant assistance of a retired gaffer named Flash, who is the only surviving crew member from CITIZEN KANE. During the course of filming a doc about the elderly, Cameron’s dream of being “the man in the chair” comes true.
