Three years, one actor, infinite masks — watch a masterclass in becoming monstrous.
Theatre director Robin Phillips rehearses actor Mark McKinney over the course of 3 years.

McKinney's physical transformation is genuinely unsettling to witness.
Direction
Coyne and Burns capture raw creative destruction with surgical precision.
Editing

Director
Susan Coyne
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Susan Coyne based the documentary structure on Michael Apted's 'Up' series, checking in at irregular intervals to capture transformation rather than manufacture it.
The film quietly interrogates whether Robin Phillips' legendary directing style — demanding absolute submission to the role — could exist in today's industry without #MeToo scrutiny.
