Interview with Sari

Being in school now, I occasionally have the sorts of assignments which lend themselves to a bit of creative license. I recently had to conduct an interview with someone outside of my cultural/ethnic/national group… I had originally wanted to interview my friend Massoud, a filmmaker who was a student in Iran during the revolution 30 years ago, but he wasn’t available, unfortunately (I’m still hoping to get an interview out of him!). But I had a great back-up candidate, the owner of my neighborhood liquor store, Tim’s (there is no Tim, I found out). Sari was very obliging with his time and in addition to my presentation in class, I drafted this very quick (less then 1 1/2 hours) comic with some of his interesting reflections on his life in the U.S. versus his life in Palestine… It was fun to draw up something so quickly; I might do some more of these “talking head” style interview comics.
