For the Profile Documentary unit, we were asked to choose a person we find interesting that people should know about. In English, we were asked to interview three people, including our main star, and research several articles in which we would use to create our paper. Once we finished we would create a magazine template to insert our article in Design, and post our work onto our Profile Website.
Throughout this whole process, I’ve found that I have really been able to grow as a producer within the technological world we live in. As I was conducting my interviews and getting to know the people I was working with, I realized how important it is to create good relationships with those in your documentary. To not just see them as a “project,” but real people who have stories to share.
Walter Mayes is a jack of all trades. He is an actor, a director, a teacher, a professional storyteller, a five time jeopardy champion, and a published author. However, outside of his theatrical antics and his storytelling, Walter can be found sitting in his room full of books as the librarian of the Girls Middle School.
