I think this scarred my childhood. So in all my horror films, I try to recreate, through the hell and purgatory that I filmed, but I never managed to portray the biggest horror of my life, a vagina full of gonorrhea."

David Lynch present Jess.
Mon, Jun 1 2009 7:37 AM
Interview Project, the latest web experiment from David Lynch, launches today, a "121 part documentary series" made up of three and a half minute interviews with different subjects around the country. Lynch's son Austin and Jason S. led a team of filmmakers who plucked up subjects who, one assumes, just looked like they'd have interesting things to say. The first interviewee, Jess, is a leathery 64-year-old they found in Needles, CA (a town I'll forever associate with Snoopy's brother Spike) who tell us "I ain't proud of anything except just being alive."
