For those that don't know:

The "powers that be" hired Joe Berlinger to make the Blair Witch sequel. Berlinger is one of the world's top documentary film makers. He is NOT a maker of major motion pictures.

Upon taking the job, he decided to go against what he thought the execs had in mind, which was probably another shaking camera in the woods. He, instead, opted to make a film that brought the "Blair Witch Hysteria" to attention.

The interviews at the beginning of the film are mostly actual townspeople talking about how people visit their town because of the first film, buy stupid things like rocks and sticks, and go romping through their cemetary. This became the basis for his film.
