Longtime Mountainfilm filmmaker Ethan Boehme (Ancient Marks, 2005, and Sacred Angkor Wat, 2006) and former NPR host Alex Chadwick have teamed up for this original series called Interviews, 50 Cents. The conceit is that Chadwick sets up two folding chairs, a card table and a cigar box with a sign on that reads “Interviews, 50 Cents.” He stages these moments in the middle of a street fair, a boardwalk, maybe even a film festival. Who comes along and joins him is only part of the charm, the rest comes from the conversation—which takes any number of turns from eating whale meat to walking across the country. —DH
