Imposter Syndrome
Still Photos

Charlie inspires to become an actor, but he’s plagued with imposter syndrome. As he tries to re-enact a scene from Fargo, he can feel his own self-doubt haunting him every time he makes a mistake.

Imposter Syndrome was a challenge to make a film in only 48 hours for the Glasgow 48-hour film project 2022. We filmed for 13 hours out of the 48 and the full team were fantastic. Joe Henry at G81 Trust Studio in Clydebank so kindly let us use his studio to build the set and film everything in. As the 48-hour film project is a difficult one to plan ahead, we took the risk to build the set and plan rough ideas for characters beforehand. Ideally, I personally wanted us to get a Thriller or a Horror so when we found out we got Thriller I was over the moon.
The concept was an interesting take from the perspective of an actor about having self-doubt playing roles that have already been created and are portrayed in modern adaptation or sequels etc.
Considering this whole production was completed in a whole weekend I'm extremely proud of the whole team and they should be so proud of their amazing work too.
