Everyman is a 10 minute visual essay, developed and supported by the Scottish Documentary Institute's highly acclaimed Bridging the Gap programme.

Synopsis

Jack tells his story by using and reframing gender focused tropes and imagery from popular culture, mythology, history and art. Starring an all-queer cast to display different aspects of Jack's life and identity, mirroring his experience from his unique point of view.
