In our final year we have to opt for either a radio or television documentary course. I opted for radio. There's just something timeless and non-invasive about it. It's more about the story you want to tell than your flashy camera angles or constant pressure to white balance every time you move the tri-pod.
My radio documentary is slowly coming along. It's due in a few weeks, but I know that time will slip through my fingers.
The story is shaping up to be about the evolution of dating in Toronto. Specifically comparing a date in the 30's and 40's to a date of today. This idea of course was inspired by my own Grandma's stories.
I just received word from a contact that one of my key interviews is set for tomorrow. I'm to show up at a local retirement home in the city and to ask for Isabelle. She's a 95-year-old Torontonian. She was married for 70 years until her husband's passing, but my contact says that's she's as sharp as a tack and most definitely a character.
So, I'll go for tea tomorrow and just let the conversation flow.
It's just kind of funny... my Grandma's name is Isabel too. Strange.
