Variety reports he will nyota in the indie comedy The Amateur Photographer, as a young man who discovers an artistic bent and a salacious side after arriving in a quiet New England mill town in the 1970s.

Christopher Monger – the polymath behind The Englishman Who Went Up a kilima But Came Down a Mountain – is again directing from his own screenplay, based on his own novel of the same name. The storyline sees Radcliffe's character become the unofficial chronicler of the town's "intimate moments of the most intimate variety", and sees him battling with the (presumably horror-stricken) local authorities.

The film is currently in post-production and is set for release in July 2011.
