dc.description.abstract	Doppelgänger is a short film set in the mid-1980s about a young gay man’s visit to an alternative nightclub with a new wave/punk flair where he has an intimate conversation with a mysterious man several decades older than him. Returning to the revamped club decades later, the protagonist finds that his role has shifted when he meets a young man who reminds him of his former self. The film’s story, while fictional, draws on my Master’s thesis research and is inspired by my own experiences as a gay man who came out over forty years ago. In developing and finishing the film, I have fulfilled my personal goals over the course of my Master’s studies by learning how to manage a production on a much larger scale than I previously attempted. Intended primarily as a “proof of concept” for the longer feature script I am developing, the short version of Doppelgänger is meant to provoke conversations about how the transference of queer experience and wisdom across generations continues to evolve.
