Interviews on the Field (segment)

Interviews on the Field is a segment from Channel -12 News that was released on March 22nd, 2021 as part of the first season's first episode. The segment is a skit revolving around a street interviewer who cannot find anyone to interview.

Outline
The segment starts off with Linus Ma introducing himself to the camera, stating that he will interviewing students of Abbey Park High School, asking them how social media has affected their mental health. The camera then pans to reveal a completely empty school foyer, leading Linus to add "if I can find anybody". The segment then devolves into a montage of Linus roaming the halls, failing to find any students to interview due to the school being empty during the Covid-19 pandemic. Linus calls out to the halls, but no one responds. He then monologues, slowly slipping into madness and having an existential crisis. He slinks through library aisles, maniacally runs through the halls, and rolls around on the floor. Eventually, he does find someone to interview, but his intensity scares them away. The segment ends with Linus interviewing himself in a bathroom mirror, solidifying his lost grip on reality.

Background
The segment was created, written and filmed by Sean Montgomery at Abbey Park High School, starring Linus Ma.
