David Lynch presents Interview Project

David Lynch is an interesting man. I dont know too much about him, but if you have ever seen his films you know exactly what im talking about. And if you dont know, go watch "Blue Velvet" "Inland Empire" "Twin Peaks" or any other of his mind-blowing movies and youll understand. Im still making my way through his body of work, but i have yet to dislike anything he is involved with.

Lynch's latest project is a web-based documentary series aptly titled Interview Project. Its a 20,000 mile road trip over 70 days where a crew meets random, real people and interviews them. Starting on June 1st, one of the 121  interviews will be released every 3 days via the interwebs. The episodes are short (about 4 mins) and the interviewees openly and honestly discuss their real life experiences. Some are sad. Some are funny. You may like them or you may hate them. But they are all different and they are all REAL. My fave so far is Palmer Black, a 68 year old Ute who is "a happy person that cooks real good BBQ" and "loves to see beautiful things". 

Lynch says his purpose is to give people the chance to meet people. Like most of Mr. Lynch's work, there is something deeply affecting about these interviews and its hard to figure out what that it is. "It's something thats human and you cant stay away from it." Heres the link... INTERVIEW PROJECT... and a trailer for good measure.
