Thanks to Philomina for the heads up.
1. You have done a lot of traveling and seen lots of countries. Which experience made a big or the biggest impression on you?
The music of Mali, a snow leopard in India, the great wall of China, many great experiences, but driving across America for a month speaking with everyday people about how they feel about the country was right up there!
2. A few years back you had a photo show "Delhi to Manhatten". Can you tell us a little about that?
I was fortunate to be involved with a documentary commissioned by 'the missing peace project', this trip to India entailed visiting many spiritual/religious centres culminating with a meeting with his holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala. Given my proximity to the displaced tibetan communities of Northern India I then trekked through the Himalayas meeting many of these people. After all that fresh air I then went to Mumbai to visit my friends from the Bollywoood film "Lagaan" - much fun had by all! My next port of call was New York to film a TV series. The Delhi to Manhattan exhibition at Tibet House chronicled these travels: the text and photos can be seen on my website www.paulblackthorne.com
3. Recently you worked on the documentary "This American Journey". What can we expect from it?
Candid interviews with people out there discussing the state of the American dream, religion and what truly makes us happy. Times may be tough but after speaking with the people we met, there's clearly hope out there...
4. How did you plan the documentary? Contact people first or work with the spontaneity?
About 2 weeks of prep and off we went, the route of the journey and the people we spoke to was all completely spontaneous. I wanted it that way, to me the unexpected is always more interesting.
