The House Next Door points to David Lynch’s website, and the trailer for Interview Project. The filmmaker apparently traveled across the country and back again interviewing random Americans, and the footage will start appearing in web series format on his site next month.

If you can get through Lynch’s drinking game-inspiring intro to the trailer (take a shot every time David Lynch says “people”, and prepare to be on the floor for several days thereafter), you’ll find black-and-white, Dorothea Lange-esque footage of mostly middle aged people (drink), mostly with Southern-ish accents, asking (scripted, it would appear) questions like “What was my first experience of death?” whilst standing in front of shacks and railroad tracks, while brids chirp and jangly guitar plays on the soundtrack. In other words, stereotypes of Americana, which Lynch has shown interest in before, appear to be well represented, but how will these stereotypes be interrogated? We’ll have to wait until June 1 to find out.
