#MattDillon discusses the seven years spent making his first film – "City of Ghosts," which he co-wrote with #BarryGifford – the power of acting as a mirror for human nature, and taking risks by working with auteurs. https://boxd.it/C8B

Watched the Criterion blu of David Lynch’s ‘Lost Highway.’ I can’t believe it has been this long since it came out in 1997. I was slinging coffee in a B&N Starbucks for 7 or so bucks an hour.

Anyway, it’s his darkest film and the start of his Dissociative Fugue trilogy that a came up with. He also has his Sex trilogy that I read in Cut! Horror Writers on Horror Films.

Also my beloved Barry Gifford co wrote it with Lynch making it extra noiry.

I still want to live the tailgating scene. I hate tailgaters.

3 things about David Lynch’s LOST HIGHWAY [1997]

1. He takes Sheila to the same motel as Alice.
2. “Stick your hand out, chief.”
3. It’s the Mystery Man who administers the kill-shot.

Probably my biggest regret with my film ROY'S WORLD is that we've never had a screening in the EU. After our shows at the #Glasgow Film Festival and the #Manchester Film Festival, we thought we were well on our way ... but the pandemic foiled our plans. If any programmers in Europe happen to see this and are interested, drop me a line!

(What's weird is that #BarryGifford has sold many more books in Europe than he has in the US!)

#BarryGifford, with Sam Barlow, Amelia Gray and Allan Scott, has been awarded Best Writing in A Video Game at the 2023 Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Awards! Has anyone played "Immortality"? I've heard it's pretty cool.

It's a damn shame that HOTEL ROOM has fallen into obscurity, one of the most singular creations of #DavidLynch ... #BarryGifford told me that rights issues have kept it out of print. Sigh.

Would you do me a kindness? If you've watched my film ROY'S WORLD could you rate it and/or write a review? For a itty bitty indie film like mine, it makes a huge difference. Thanks!

Reading #BarryGifford s Night People and J. M. Barrie's Sentimental Tommy at the same time hoping to trigger a David Lynch's Peter Pan dream.

What a dream come true. The #soundtrack album for my film is on the way! Look for it on gatefold vinyl, Spring 2023, from Corbett vs. Dempsey. Featuring Jason Adasiewicz, Jon Doyle, Josh Berman, Joshua Abrams, and Hamid Drake. Package design by Michael Dyer/Remake. Oh, and it includes a brand-new story by #BarryGifford written just for the album!

Advice from #BarryGifford on adapting a novel into a #screenplay: "Put in whatever you want to be in your movie. That's it. You only get one shot at it."

#DavidLynch: "#BarryGifford is a killer f**kin' writer ... ROY'S WORLD: BARRY GIFFORD'S CHICAGO captures his childhood and that time in #Chicago, and many other places. I really enjoyed watching it and then contemplating what goes on inside a person with this history. I really love that world and the things that can happen there." My #film is now streaming all over the place--check it out! https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/roys-world-barry-giffords-chicago

Exactly one year ago today, my film had its #Chicago premiere at the #MusicBoxTheatre in front of 350+ people ... whoa, just crazy to remember. Here's #barrygifford and I onstage for the Q &A. What an awesome time that was.
