Documentary Subject

     The person I am interesting in interviewing is my boss Pat McCauslin, Superintendent of Landscape Services. The interview could fit in a documentary as a voice of the video. The interview would initially take place in Pat’s office and it would switch between showing the employees working and him as he talked.
     Pat McCauslin, Superintendent of Landscape Services, is in charge of the group that takes care of all the public spaces on campus and the athletic group who take care of the athletic fields.
