Twixt Set at Upper Playground
Print / Life / Film / Art
As mentioned in issue 9.5, Francis Ford Coppola's newest movie Twixt recently premiered. Next Friday a set from the movie will be on display at San Francisco's Fifty24SF Gallery. Currently being installed by the art director of the film, Porous Walker and the art department from the production. It will feature a truly amazing display, turning a blank gallery into something that once was just floating in a brain. More on the installation, exhibition and from the Porous in the coming week.
From the gallery:
For TWIXT sc. 83, members of Twixt’s tiny tiny Art Dept, (Jimmy DiMarcellis, David Hopp, and John Paul Goorjian) will be rebuilding the set of the film’s dramatic climax sequence, scene 83. The center of the gallery will feature a remake and stand-alone installation of the film’s clock tower, shown in the film as an impromptu 3D experience. Also on display from Twixt, will be bat and birdhouses from Nice, California artist John Hathaway, whose front yard/gallery/shop “The Woodpecker”, was a key set in the film. TWIXT sc. 83 will also feature a series of other pieces from the film’s set department that were found around different locations in Northern California and in the Coppola archives, as well as behind the scenes and set photography by the film’s executive producer, Anahid Nazarian and Set Photographer, Kalman Mueller. The gallery will run trailers of the film, along with other enhancements to bring Twixt’s horror scenes to life.
