If the first four parts of Cameron Cloutier’s extension of Twin Peaks mythology were great, this fifth visit to the world both wondrous and strange is simply sublime.

Read more "Queen of Hearts – Act V review and thoughts"Hi there, I’m just checking in to offer a few of my thoughts on Act IV of Cameron Cloutier’s Twin Peaks fan film, Queen of Hearts.

Read more "Queen of Hearts – Act IV review – (Spoiler Alert)"Hi everyone, It has been quite a while, hasn’t it?

Read more "Getting to Know You – a haiku sequence"It’s taken me a while to get around to writing this what with one thing or another.

Images have been appearing regularly on the film’s dedicated Facebook […]
Read more "Queen of Hearts update January 2020"Merry Christmas everyone, I wanted to mark the holiday by going back into the woods for one more Twin Peaks haiku.
