Jack Nyblom & Jim Zuur

« Previous | Next »

Former San Jose State film instructor Jim Zuur (left) and his partners Jack Nyblom (right) and Dennis Skaggs reopened a closed, small one-room theater 35 years ago this fall and turned it into the Camera Cinemas—which now include Camera 12 and Camera 3 in San Jose, Camera 7 in Campbell and the Los Gatos Cinema. Throughout an era that saw big chains claw their way into the market, Team Camera kept independent cinema alive, breaking the work of new directors like Spike Lee, Quentin Tarantino and Pedro Almodovar. Recently retired and about to turn 70, Zuur’s latest mission is to become one of the nation’s five fastest swimmers in his age class.
