permalink For those who don’t know the man behind the Blogotheque curtain, his name is Chryde Abric. He brilliantly dreamt up the concept and has since brought the magic of hundreds of Take Away Shows to the world. Until we start pre-production for this film and have video update blogs etc, we thought it would be fun if Chryde was interviewed by his co-worker Sarah Schutzki Voisin about the project. It’s so cool to see someone doing what they love and using that for positive change. His love for the spontaneous is spellbinding. ::: Sarah: This the first time La Blogotheque has gotten involved in a project alongside a non-profit organization, right?  How do you feel about the mission of Invisible Children, and how do you think this project will influence La Blogotheque in it’s future endeavors, if at all? Chryde: Yes, it’s the first time we’re involved in something like this. I was immediately interested for two reasons: first, I totally support the general mission of Invisible Children, and second, I loved the idea of for the film.  I was also initially excited because this project is so different from what we see from French non profits: supporting great causes in such an entertaining way!  It definitely feels great doing something so useful while also doing what we love.   I think we’ll get involved in more projects like this in the future - it helps us keep our feet on the ground (right?!). S: What do you think it will be like the moment you, along with Kenny and the members of Polyphonic Spree, Yeasayer and Lykke Li, step off the plane and start meeting the locals and the children in Gulu, Uganda?C: It might be super weird, and mainly because of the Polyphonic Spree: we won’t be a small group, but thirty people coming to the camps all at once… It will be super tough to know where to look too.  It’s gonna be sparkles and smiles and confusion and punches in the face (in a good sense)… I hope the kids will lead the way. I’d love them to take the bands where they want and be the masters of the whole thing. S: During interviews, what is a question you have always hoped the interviewers would ask you but never have? C: Ha! I don’t know. I have too many ideas and too few at the same time. Weirdly I think about questions I’m scared of, that would puzzle me. I’d love to have those sort of questions, even if they frighten me. S: Annnnnnd, drum roll: What did you eat for breakfast this morning? C: Ouch, just a coffee.  I had so many e-mails to send!
