Documentary

[dramaqueen_23]

Later this morning, I'm being interviewed for a documentary about the Ottawa Fringe festival. On the one hand, exciting! I'm definitely a documentary fan(audrawilliams I promise I will make it out to one of your parties sooner or later!). Who would have thought my endeavours could be intriguing enough to be chronicled on film

Break a leg! instead of being yourself, could you create a self-life character with all the qualities you would hope for in a film persona of you and then, play that character for the interview? I'm not saying you ned to - I think you're great and will be fine on film - but if you're worried, might it help?

Bah! You're a bundle of awesome! You don't have to pretend you're fascinating, you've got that all sewed up!

Maybe you can think of some of the questions they'd ask and prepare some answers, which will give you some grounding for other questions they may ask. The only reason a lot of people sound so great in interviews is because they do SO many of them in short blocks of time, in which they're being asked the same questions over and over again. Before those junkets, they get coached by people asking, you guessed it, the same questions. Even when something slightly different gets asked, they've basically got the pool of information they need to answer it.

An idea might be to write your history with the Fringe Festival, and your history as a playwright. Then you can put some of the clever quotes together there, and write your own natural script.

That said, as above, I think you're a bundle of awesome, and you'll do great!

Good luck! You're far more interesting than you give yourself credit for. Anyone who knows, by heart, many episodes of 'Family Guy' certainly is worthy of a documentary, IMHO .. :)

Have fun .. let 'em bask in your interestingness .. :)
