David Lynch’s Interview Project Probes American Dreams

In Interview Project’s mini-documentaries, filmmakers Austin Lynch and Jason S. sidle up to strangers and ask them piercing questions like “What were your dreams as a child?” and “When did you first experience death?”
For the 121-part online series, which launches Monday, the pair logged 20,000 miles criss-crossing the United States over a 70-day stretch, searching for random people to question about American life.
In a filmed introduction to Interview Project, producer David Lynch (Austin’s father) says: “There was no plan, really. The (filmmaking) team found people as they were driving along the roads, going into bars, different locations…. There they were. The people told their stories.”
A new three-to-five minute Interview episode will debut every three days for a year.
The documentary series has little in common with the creepily surreal fare often associated with David Lynch’s cinematic sensibility.
