Am I accurately reporting what I see in such a blossom? The answer is no. . . and yes.
You either hear the story and you're curious, and you're sort of sympathetic, or you think, "Ugh, how horrible. " That's dehumanizing. How about we take that and turn Christine Chubbuck into a person and it's not about the final act, it's about her life. I felt that really strongly, and I felt a sort of deep sympathy with her. It's also why I do what I do. I want to try to make difficult people somehow relatable.
