A Study On Behaviour, Sequences Of Performangst is a film that explores the feeling of anxiety and how we deal with it in social contexts. Essentially it is ‘how we feel’ vs ‘how we act’ and to what degree we perform to hide how we actually feel. We have taken the example of a day in an actor’s life but this can apply to anyone.
