Filmmaking is very much a family affair, and behind every great director are a team of talented professionals, each with a unique gift of skill and creativity in their field, who work tirelessly to support the director and bring their vision to life.
Each day of A Gathering of the Angels: A Tribute and Celebration of the world of David Lynch, we will be hosting exclusive online panel discussions with many of David Lynch's creatives who have worked across several of his projects.
SATURDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER: Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me Special
In the first of our online panel discussions, we meet some of the industry professionals who helped realise what many call David Lynch's masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and are pleased to announce that our first online creatives are none other than screenwriter Robert (Bob) Engels, cinematographer Ron Garcia who also worked on On The Air and Lynch's famous Armani commercial, music editor Lori Eschler and sound designer Douglas Murray, who also worked on the pilot episode of Twin Peaks.
Released in 1992, FWWM, as Lynch fans lovingly refer to it, was a prequel film to the TV series Twin Peaks, and revealed the devastating secrets of the last seven days of Laura Palmer's life. It was dramatic, horrifying, seductive and compelling.
This thrilling discussion will take place on the Saturday of our event, and we can't wait to hear all of the creatives stories of how they, and David Lynch, made FWWM and cinema history with this incredible film.
SUNDAY 28th SEPTEMBER: THE LYNCH COLLABORATORS
The second of our online panels sees several Lynch collaborators come together to discuss the wider body of Lynch's work. We are honoured to announce that highly respected creatives, cinematographer Peter Deming, whose work includes Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway and Twin Peaks: The Return as well as the Scream films, composer, sound designer and re-recordist Dean Hurley who worked on Twin Peaks: The Return, Inland Empire and Lady Blue Shanghai, will be part of this discussion as well as legendary casting director Johanna Ray and Emmy award winning Make Up Designer Debbie Zoller who worked on Twin Peaks: The Return and Lost Highway. There are more creatives to be added to both panels.
Both of these exiting online panels will be hosted by film lecturer Andreas Halskov. A long term admirer of David Lynch, Halskov regularly holds talks in Lynch's works and has collaborated with many of Lynch's creatives in relation to his own educational work and has interviewed over 100 in relation to his latest book, co-written by John Thorne, which is an oral history of Lynch's films and TV Productions. Halskov also teaches at the David Lynch Graduate School of Cinematic Arts and we are grateful to him for his curation and hosting of these wonderful discussions.
