I had the pleasure of attending the premiere of TVO’s Stress Test at Hot Docs Cinema, where we watched two episodes of the new documentary series. I had filmed my contribution some time earlier and appear as an expert in the episode on masculinity.
The series follows actor and comedian Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll as he explores the pressures of everyday life, including relationships and work-life balance. He speaks with experts and tries different approaches to managing stress, bringing research into conversation with his own experiences.
When you film a segment, you don’t yet know how the finished series will come together or what its overall message will be. Watching the episodes at the premiere, I was impressed by how much I learned, including ideas I could apply in my own life. Seeing what the team produced made me really happy to have been part of it.
The series is now available to watch. Watch the masculinity episode on TVO Docs’ YouTube channel.
