Twin Peaks Pilot at the 1989 Vancouver International Film Festival
“Welcome to Canada!” The Twin Peaks pilot episode festival tour continues with a look at the Canadian premiere during the 1989 Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF).

For years, I’ve heard stories of how the pilot episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks was screened to a variety of audiences long before it debuted the ABC Television Network in April 1990.

Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival

Twin Peaks Fan Fest Memories – Kiana Lodge
I finally uploaded a nearly 16-minute video from my first visit to Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. This place was my first visit to a film location and, needless to say, I was beside myself. So set the way back machine to August 9, 1996. My best friend Joe Neff and (at the time) newly…
