David Lynch Donates Limited Edition Self Portrait to Raise Funds for New Documentary

LONDON, July 13, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- A new documentary about David Lynch will be financed by online
contributions from fans who, in return, will receive a limited edition
artwork created by the visionary director himself. Lynch has donated a unique
self-portrait to the production team behind the project, copies of which will
be sent to fans in return for a donation of $50 towards the film's production
costs.

In addition to receiving Lynch's artwork - donors will automatically
become "members" of the pioneering LYNCHthree project. As members, they will
receive regular newsletter updates about the film and will be given the
opportunity to further share in the filmmaking process by gaining access to
exclusive footage once filming has begun. Donations will be made simply and
securely via a specially designed website: http://www.lynchthree.com.

LYNCHthree is a fully independent project and the third in a trilogy of
films about the enigmatic director behind such classic films as Mulholland
Drive, Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart. LYNCH (one) was cut from 700 hours of
footage gathered over two years following the director as he completed his
last film, Inland Empire, and a "behind the scenes" account of that film
formed the second instalment of the trilogy, LYNCH 2.

LYNCHthree is from the same director as the previous films in the
trilogy, who goes by the pseudonym 'blackANDwhite', he comments:

"This new form of financing allows filmmakers the opportunity to make the
films they want to make without the constraints placed on them by the
traditional system. Having waited three years to begin the final segment in
the LYNCH series, we hope that people are excited to be a part of our
journey."

Producer Jon Nguyen adds:

"LYNCHthree benefits both financially and artistically from the online
project through its dialogue with David's fans. There are so many questions
that we would like to ask David, and building a network of his fans allows us
to hear what they would like to ask him if they could hold the camera."

Notes to Editors

The self-portrait can be viewed on the project's official website:

forms - as a limited edition collectible print, on a t-shirt, or on a tote
bag.
