Unassuming and diligent, Sy takes great pride in his work, and is dedicated to providing the best pictures possible for his customers. His favourites being the Yorkin family; Nina (Connie Nielson, Gladiator, The Devils Advocate), Will (Michael Vartan, Alias) and their nine year old son Jakob, the perfect American family who appear to enjoy the warmth, security and love Sy has always craved. Over many years Sy has followed the Yorkin’s lives through the hundreds of photos he has printed for them, watching Jakob celebrate every birthday and ‘sharing’ in the wonderful holidays the family have taken. But gradually Sy allows his interest in the Yorkins to develop into a much darker obsession, creating a fantasy world for himself as ‘Uncle Sy’, and desperately searching for another way into their lives. Events turn sinister when Sy discovers a secret that shatters his picture perfect image of his adopted ‘family’, and as Sy’s everyday life takes an unexpected turn, fantasy blurs with reality, sending him over the edge. Long-time loneliness and alienation has created an unpredictable and dangerous mind as Sy’s obsession and anger has grown. It is a race against time for Detective Van Der Zee (Eriq Le Salle, ER) when Sy determines to expose the Yorkin’s imperfections, taking matters into his own hands. ONE HOUR PHOTO is the motion picture debut from writer/director Mark Romanek, who has previously worked on much-admired music videos for artists such as Madonna, REM and David Bowie. In Sy Parish, Romanek has created a haunting yet sympathetic portrait of a man living in a dangerous and disturbing fantasy world.
