This short film was created using myself as simultaneous director/non-actor/researcher. This structure was necessary due to the lockdown restrictions imposed on the UK due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this film, I attempt to reflect on how my masculine identity is reinforced in the way I present myself to the world, despite my scholarly interest in deconstructing masculinity.
While this film was useful in considering my relationship to the subject matter I was researching, I also regard it as a tangential piece of work in this project in that it did not further my working methods of working with participants (other than myself).
