Actors responding to an audition call for an experiment art video were sent a copy of the Identity Profile via email. From this profile they were asked to create an interpretation of the statistical data presented in the Profile. A difficult task, some of the actors fell back on stereotypes or cliches while others struggled with the concept as a whole. All of them offered an interesting take.

Originally shot in 2006, the video was not cut and exhibited until 2009.
