Jay Silverman is an award winning director, producer, filmmaker, writer, and photographer from Santa Monica, California.

His most recent project is a film titled 'Camera' - a heartwarming story of loss, hope, and healing, following a mute 9-year-old named Oscar who just moved with his widowed mom to a struggling fishing town. Picked on and bullied, nobody realizes that Oscar sees great beauty where others only see despair. Nobody, that is, until a broken camera brings him together with Eric, an eccentric old repairman, and an unlikely friendship develops. Under Eric’s mentorship, Oscar finds his voice through photography, and in doing so, heals a wounded community.
