I relayed to a lot of this, and also the way you end - you can intellectualize and theorize who you are but at the end actually being that person is different. Thank you for sharing and the film work sounds so exciting!
ah thank you, jack! i have been amazed at how much the film crew & producers were so clearly aware of identities and cues for them. and oh my gosh, i remember reading and loving erving goffman during my grad school days but it has been a hot minute since i’ve read his work. thanks for inspiring me to return to it!
Loved this 🙌
