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.)

Bios
Jason Rapczynski won the 31st International 3-Day Novel Contest with The Videographer, a tale of the naive dreamers and web-addled stunt junkies of the digital generation. Jason earned his MFA in creative writing from Emerson College in 2005, and now works as a writer and bookseller. He lives in New Haven, Connecticut.
Matthew J. Trafford works with Deaf college students in Toronto. His poetry, reviews, and stories have appeared in journals across Canada. His fiction has twice been short-listed for the CBC Literary Prize, received an Honourable Mention at the National Magazine Awards, and won the Far Horizons Award from the Malahat Review.
Tate Young is the director/producer who thought that dropping 3-Day Novel writers in a giant bookstore on the western hinterlands and filming them for live broadcast and a television series would be a good idea. Twice. Obviously a twisted sadist, he’s also a poet who once drove a pink ambulance across the country to promote his alter-ego’s inflammatory book of verse.
