David Lynch Launches New Online Documentary Series on June 1

Filmmaker David Lynch is presenting Interview Project, a 121 part documentary series, which will air on his website, davidlynch.com, with a new episode premiering every three days for an entire year.

Interview Project profiles Americans whose lives exemplify the ups and downs of the human experience.

In 2008, Lynch dispatched a group of filmmakers, dubbed “the team,“ to travel across America and interview the people they encountered about their lives. The filmmakers were given no set procedure, but were allowed to let fate and their personal judgment guide them in their approach to their assignment. Pre-production was limited to specifying the questions each person would be asked. The interviews were to be structured, but in such a way that serendipitous moments might occur. The team found their subjects in bars, along the highway, in front of their homes, in restaurants and other ordinary places.

Once shot, the interviews were cut into short segments that provide penetrating glimpses into the hearts and minds of the men and women who faced the cameras.

Interview Project debuts on davidlynch.com via a new component, which shows each of the 3-5 minute interview episodes in a context that allows viewers to consider them -- and their subjects -- in relationship to each other. The context makes each interview more complex and compelling.

This David Lynch original launches June 1. Can’t wait to see what it’s all about.
