On Friday, me and Wentian met with one of the main characters of “SHOK”, Andi Bajgora (13y/o).
We spent a couple of hours together. First half an hour at Dit’ e Nat’, we basically explained to him who we were and what we were trying to do and ended up having some nice conversations off the Zoom Recorder. After that, we went to Grand Hotel’s Lobby for a quieter space where we could start the first interview with Andi.
On the way to meet him me and Wentian were a little worried if Andi would be able to express himself easily in English and luckily he did, so that made the whole process easier for us. I really enjoyed interviewing him, as I thought he was a very young and curious person, who was seeking for questions that made him tell new stories.
Many times, I got very into the interview, where it seemed like we were just hanging out and opening up, that I forgot to keep quiet when I was agreeing with him, surprised or found his stories funny. I even shared some stories of mine just cos I wanted to. I’m not yet sure if that’s a terrible thing or not since I haven’t heard the outcome.
