1. The document outlines a film project where the subject, Adam, asks strangers on the street questions to get their impressions of him based on his appearance alone. 2. The questions include guessing his name, what career he may want, and what he was like in school. Strangers give a variety of answers for each question. 3. At the end, Adam reflects on the experiment and notes that most saw him as friendly or timid, and people assumed different backgrounds for him, with some thinking he came from a privileged background while others a less privileged one.

ADAM:
Impressions. What are they really?
They're judgements of a person. Do we
know these judgements are right? No,
not at all, but that doesn't stop us
doing it, i know for a fact because i
do it. for example, who am i to you? A
face on a screen? A face you've most
likely never seen before. am i a
murderer? No. But do you know that?
No. What would people say if they were
to see you for the first time? Would
they call you friendly? Timid?
Creepy? Self obsessed? Maybe a little
of all, who knows. no one, but I'm off
to find out. lets go!
