FRANK

Posted on 2014-05-07

Frank is a comedy about a young wannabe musician, Jon, who discovers he’s bitten off more than he can chew when he joins a band of eccentric pop musicians led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank and his terrifying sidekick, Clara. Frank’s uniqueness lies in the fact that he makes music purely for the joy of creating…and because he wears a giant fake head. After a rocky start, Jon ingratiates himself with the band members, and they retreat to a cabin in the woods to record an album. As his influence waxes, creative tensions mount, and the band’s entire raison d’être is called into question.

RICHARD BEYMER DOCUMENTARY ON DAVID LYNCH

Posted on 2014-04-23

Richard Beymer first met David Lynch when Lynch cast him as Ben Horne in the series Twin Peaks. Years later, Lynch saw one of Richard’s documentaries on the founder of Transcendental Meditation, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and asked him to come to India to document a journey he was making tracing Maharishi’s footsteps from one end of India to the other. This film is not just a record of their 10-day journey, it’s also a rare and personal look at David Lynch “unplugged.”

The film is available worldwide for rental and download through the below link.
