description This qualitative research paper is an explication in support of my twenty-five-minute documentary film entitled One Mind. One Mind follows Ashwill Petersen's journey as he prepares and competes in his first 100km trail running race at George Mountain Ultra Trail (MUT) 2022. Even though the film only follows one person's story, it is representative of the experience of trail runners entering the ultra-trail running community in South Africa. The chapters of this dissertation examine and reflect on the approach I took in representing the physical and mental challenges my protagonist faced when participating in his first ultra-trail race. My first chapter discusses Bill Nichols' modes of representation, particularly the participatory and observational modes, in relation to Julie Perini's notion of relational filmmaking. Chapter 2 analyses three existing sports documentaries in relation to One Mind, and Chapter 3 reflects on the production process and creative decisions involved in the making of my film. Finally, Chapter 4 considers the scope for further research and filming opportunities related to the research I have done thus far.
