A new video has been released where the voice of the Daleks himself, Nicholas Briggs, teaches us mere humans how to talk like one of the dreaded Skaro natives, all part of the Indiegogo funded documentary Doctor Who Am I, an intimate portrait of the American Doctor Who fan.

The video is released as a teaser to the crowdfunded Doctor Who Am I, an intimate portrait of the American Doctor Who fan from the point of view of Matthew Jacobs, the writer and co-producer of the Paul McGann TV Movie. as he is invited to his first fan convention nearly 20 years after writing and co-producing the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie starring the Eighth Doctor. It’s a tale of identity, regeneration and redemption.

“We explore Whovian life from the grand convention scale to the microcosms of people’s homes to the core of who they are. It’s a story of identity, and we ask our participants the simple question: “Who is the Doctor in you? The answers are revealing, funny and touching. Each voice is a story in itself, and the result is a fascinating character study that says a lot about not only fandom but America in general.”

Co-directed by Vanessa Yuille and filmed by Dylan Glockler, Doctor Who Am I brings together the same team that made Jacobs’ critically acclaimed and award-winning indie features Your Good Friend (2014) and Bar America (2015). We’ve received the support from Shaun Lyon (director of Gallifrey One), Ken Deep (showrunner of L.I. Who), and actor-singer Daphne Ashbrook (the Eighth Doctor’s American companion).

Filming began in February 2015 at the Gallifrey One Convention in Los Angeles. The crew shot additional interviews with fans over the summer and filmed at Long Island Who Convention this past November in New York.
