Project Outlines

Structure

The project has an episodic structure made of two sets of content devided based on their length. The shorter version is posted on Social Media and the longer versions are subscription based on Podcasting platforms.

The shorter versions includes a brief bio of the interviewee with some supporting visual material and the podcast consists of a plain conversation that can be viewed on YouTube as well as podcasting

Main Ideas

Identity and lifestyles are the main components of this series and all participants discuss the impact of Los Angeles on their Armenian enthnicity and viceversa.

In deeper layers, the project aims to breakdown some of the traits that as an ethnic group has made us maintain a much different way of life in comparison to other races and whys and hows of that phenomenon.

Execution

Basic bio and information about each participant is initially studied and reviewed among the producing team and the interviewees are selected on the merit of being interesting and out of the box personalities.

The production then begins with shooting a day in the life of the selected individual followed by a conversation with them. The footage is then enters post production stage where the content is soon edited and published on our outlets.
