Is this the start of a PhD proposal?

The Enigma of Hollis Frampton.

By using a research-led practice methodology, and with special reference to the work of filmmaker Hollis Frampton, my thesis will attempt to answer the following question:

• How does the study of a filmmaker's theories about their practice assist in understanding and appreciating their films?

I intend to produce a feature length documentary fiction film about Hollis Frampton and his theories, including remakes of parts of his films, re-enactments of interviews and lectures using existing audio, and a commentary on the journey undertaken to arrive at an understanding of this enigmatic artist.

The film will be marketed to film festivals using a website and a vlog of production progress.

Key literature will be Hollis Frampton's own written works and films.
