Interview Project

I've only dabbled in the David Lynch realm, but as an aspiring journalist/writer, i've come to learn that people are at the heart of every article/story written. the idea of this project helped me to determine my purpose as a journalist, seeing as i didn't understand why i went in the field besides maybe having a job. there are interesting characters all around.

you've probably heard this story before, but i recently interviewed a private investigator here in muncie for an article in the Daily News (the Ball State student paper). it was a slow-moving interview, but after it he ended up buying me four beers at the Heorot - which dave, ashley, and i frequent often - and talked about The Big Lebowski for most of the time.

the bar experience could've made a far better article, but i think it stands alone just fine as a story. what Interview Project does it display people like that p.i. and displays them better than words ever could. this is the mild infatuation i have with film and film making, as i like to look at it from a writer's perspective. some things were just meant to be in certain mediums.

p.s. here is my article. it made the front page.

p.s.s episodes 78 & 79 of IP are from Indiana.
