This fan edit reimagines the Twin Peaks film and all of its deleted scenes by cutting it into a 3 episode mini series that mimics the style of the first two seasons of the show.
The most significant aspects of this edit are:
1) It combines Fire Walk With Me and The Missing Pieces deleted scenes into 3 episodes.
2) The storyline has been reordered, so that the Laura Palmer plotline appears first and the Chet Desmond/Deer Meadow plotline is intercut with it.
3) There is a custom intro for each episode like in the original show.
Episode titles:
Episode 1 - The Owl Ring
Episode 2 - The Path to The Pink Room
Episode 3 - Beyond Angels & Owls
Features:
-3 episodes - About 1 hour long each.
-Includes Fire Walk with Me in its entirety and most scenes from The Missing Pieces.
-Also includes clips from season 2 and the Log Lady introductions.
-New custom intro credits sequence.
-Music added to scenes from The Missing Pieces.
-Audio and video transitions as well as volume adjustment.
-Color correction of The Missing Pieces to match the official film.
This project has a simple stated goal of giving another way to interact with Fire Walk with Me. It's a creative endeavor to explore the rabbit holes of some of Lynch's biggest themes and overall visual universe. And a lot of effort was put into making this a high quality edit for a viewing experience faithful to the original and respectful to the filmmakers.
It asks the question: what could this film have looked like if the creators were given enough runtime to explore the town of Twin Peaks before Laura Palmer's murder?
Another goal for the project is to play with intertextuality.
How do the vibes change with the film arranged this way?
What new clues can be learned from the film being organized this way?
What can it reveal about the relationship between the viewer and the film based on the reactions to different edits?
And, of course, what can it reveal about the film overall?
The poster for the fan edit is based on the print ads from the 90's that were published to promote the initial run of the show.
Here's an example:
So, since The Missing Season is made to mimic the original show, the poster is a cheeky little joke. It pairs well with the retro trailer for the edit (trailer 2 above).
