David Lynch Presents his 121-part 'Interview Project': An EW exclusive

Categories: Movie Biz

On June 1, legendary movie-maker David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire) will present Interview Project, a 121-part documentary series featuring 3-5 minute portraits of a ordinary (and sometimes extraordinary) Americans from all over the country.

Commissioned by Lynch, and compiled by a team of filmmakers who criss-crossed the states gathering dozens of personal histories, the series — to be premiered every three days throughout the year until next June — is available only at interviewproject.davidlynch.com, but you’ll find an exclusive first look at the very Lynchian project — introduced by the man himself — only here at ew.com. Watch it below:

    wow…. hard to believe that it’s just a documentary

  • Elle Ameno

    Remarkable. His love for his mom, ambivalence toward his father; his daily walks and ‘come what may’ approach to illness and impending death speak volumes about the human condition. Yet here it is, in his own words, in this lovely little film. More please.

  • Lana Elfstrom

    Loved It- looking forward to the project. How fun is this going to be?! I both laughed & cried in those few minutes!

  • greg Z

    When the most outrageous and lurid seem to reign supreme, this project feels like a breath of pure oxygen.

  • George

    This is great. real and simple and powerful. A great example of not over-complicating media. Cheers

    People asks me, what’s with you and David Lynch? I tell them: he spoke with me in my dream and I will follow his “thing” – I believe that’s my destiny …

    LOVE LYNCH, ENCORE! Who are these filmmakers? Did Lynch interview these people himself?

  • ernie p simms

    Don’t forget…Lynch charges you money to view content on his website!!

  • Brian Schwartz

    I’m a big fan of David Lynch and this looks like it will be some of his best work I’ve seen in some time. So now I’m guessing he might like to read 50 Interviews (50interviews.com), specifically the last question I asked was “what would it say on your tombstone?” I’m guessing he’ll like those answers best.

    If anyone can show the beauty in ordinary, its Lynch! Compelling stuff, but anyone else wondering who actually went out there and interviewed these people?
