Interviewee: Melissa Partington
Subject: Center for Digital Storytelling

What was your favorite digital story?
"My favorite story was 'Ironing'."

Can you summarize this story for me?
"Ironing is about a guy who finds comfort in ironing. He realizes that he finds this comfort because he sat with his mom while she ironed when he was growing up. He now realizes how talking [with his mom as she ironed] filled the loneliness of life."

Why did you like this story?
"Because it clearly showed how when you are older, you can understand and relate to your parents much better than when you're younger."

What didn't you like about this story?
"I didn't like how some of the pictures were very faded. This made it so you concentrated more on the picture and less on the story being told. It was distracting."

Thanks Melissa :)
