This past weekend my boyfriend and I had the privilege of meeting Jennifer Lynch at the 2013 Twin Peaks Fest. She is an incredibly funny and down to earth person. In the process of having her sign my copy of The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, we mentioned that we were from Philadelphia. She thought that was great, then we showed her the photo we had taken of the Eraserhood mural. She was so excited and thought it was awesome. We explained to her what the Eraserhood was and where it was. I was shocked that she didn’t know anything about it. We actually ended up texting her the picture at her request, so she could send it to her dad! Her exact words were, “That’s going to dad tonight!”. It was awesome! Just thought I’d share that story with you guys!

Philadelphia: The Great Experiment, a documentary film by Sam Katz — Kickstarter

[Less than 55 hours left to fund this Eraserhood-produced film!]

PHILADELPHIA: THE GREAT EXPERIMENT is a feature-length documentary on the history of Philadelphia from 1944 –1994, a period that saw dramatic social changes, political corruption, and violence. But it also saw inspiring moments in sports, music, social reform, and the arts that epitomized the innovation and diversity that made Philadelphia the trail-blazing and resilient city it is today.

Philadelphia is the only major American city yet to be featured in documentary film, and we’re going to change that. By departing from a 1776-centric historical focus, we explore stories of Philadelphia’s more recent past –a past that’s still affecting the city today.
