ForeWord magazine on The Videographer

The Videographer by Jason Rapczynski
ForeWord This Week (OK, not quite this week, but we’ve been very busy at 3-Day HQ) interviews Jason Rapczynski on his preparation and process in producing The Videographer, the 2008 winning entry.
“In the weeks leading up to the contest I had been watching a lot of YouTube videos—car wrecks and street fights and amateur stunts gone horribly wrong. So I sat down with an idea about a character who maybe films this stuff for a living… [And] what if this character, who’s involved in all these shady dealings, was to find out that he was a father? Those two ideas were pretty much the matrix for the plot.” (Read the full interview.)

FEATURING
Loud People
Loud People by Todd Lamb
3-Day presents a rare screening of Loud People, a short series by Brooklyn-based writer and filmmaker Todd Lamb. Loud People features actual overhead NYC cell phone conversations, re-enacted by comedians from 4Track improv and set to music by Tortoise. Over the course of a year, Lamb and his assistants eavesdropped on and transcribed more than 100 conversations to find the bizarre and very real moments featured in this hilarious piece. With an introduction by George Basil, a member of 4Track and a regular performer at the Magnet Theater.
AND
The Videographer
The Videographer by Jason Rapczynski
Jason Rapczynski reads from The Videographer, the newly released winner of the 31st Annual International 3-Day Novel Contest. The Videographer follows a film-school dropout who finds work taping street fights and setting up spy cams in I-95 rest stops. His plans to escape the grasp of his enigmatic boss are sent spinning when a pre-teen runaway shows up at his door, claiming to be his daughter. As her arrival triggers a series of events that are eerily similar to a script he wrote years earlier, the videographer must uncover the truth about who is really under surveillance.
Hosted by Lila MacLellan, NY freelance writer and editor and MFA student at the New School.
Survivors of the 32nd Annual 3-Day Novel Contest are encouraged to come out! This is a great opportunity to meet up with fellow entrants and compare experiences.
