AKA is a 2002 drama film, the first by director and writer Duncan Roy. The film is set in the late 1970s in Britain and follows the story of Dean, an 18-year-old teenager who assumes another identity to infiltrate high society. Dean meets David, an older gay man who desires him and Benjamin, a young Texan hustler. It is largely an autobiographical account of Duncan Roy's early life.

The film is presented in a three-frame split-screen format, showing simultaneous perspectives.
