‘Twilight In Forks’ Clip: The Mitch Hansen Band Visits Forks
May 27
Posted by Joyce
Categories: Twilight In Forks DVD, Twilight Related Music

If you’re a fan of “Twilight,” it should not be news that many fans have taken “Stephenie Meyer’s book series and reinterpreted it in their own creative way. Mitch Hansen and Brent Cook of The Mitch Hansen Band have reached a certain level of fame writing songs based on the “Saga,” and have already released one album with another on the way.

Turns out they decided to finally visit Forks, the town at the heart of “Twilight,” at the same time the guys from the “Twilight in Forks” documentary did, and we have an exclusive first look at what their meeting produced!

“This is our first time in forks and it’s awesome. We love it here,” Mitch said during their interview in what looks like Forks High School. ” Brent added, “We kind of knew what to expect, but until you’re in it and experiencing it and seeing it in person, you have no idea. It’s just incredible. Breathtaking. ”

They both herald from Atlanta, Ga., and couldn’t help comparing the two areas to each other. The trees and beaches in Forks really impressed Mitch, as did the differences in Forks when compared to the small towns they were used to.

“Forks has been a really cool place. We’re from Georgia and we’ve got small towns back there but they’re nothing like this small town. It’s got that whole lumberjack vibe going for it. It’s very cool. It’s an awesome place,” Mitch said. Brent added, “Once you get here, the small town feel is just different from any place we’ve been.”

Though they didn’t get to see any vampires during their visit (it was sunny and 75 degrees, so not exactly prime vampire sighting weather), seeing Forks in person really brought home for Mitch and Brent how the series has created their success. “‘Twilight’s’ been pretty good to us,” Mitch acknowledged. “I think we did a fairly good job of capturing a lot of the emotions and feelings from the book, and I think people really relate to that.”

Categories: Twilight In Forks DVD

York Baur and the Twilight in Forks crew recently announced an iPhone app where you can watch additional footage from their “Twilight in Forks” documentary. Each week they will be adding a new video. Here is a preview of this weeks addition:

From MTV

It seems like every fan has some sort of emotional attachment to “Twilight” leading man Robert Pattinson, and this week’s video is about Tomoko Yuzawa, 20, from Bellevue, WA — this lucky fan had a physical interaction with the star back in the days when the “Twilight” film was still gaining popularity.

Make sure you download the app so you can watch the whole video when it goes live soon!

New Footage from ‘Twilight in Forks’ on Free iPhone App
May 5
Posted by Joyce
Categories: Twilight In Forks DVD, Twilight-themed Products

York Bauer, producer of Twilight in Forks whom we  interviewed on CBA recently, announced that  additional footage from Forks that didn’t make it into the video will be coming out on an iPhone app. Here’s the details:

“We built an iPhone app for the fans of ‘Twilight in Forks’ and ‘Twilight’ fans generally,” explained producer York Baur when we caught up with him recently. “We’re pleased to say that we’ve got downloads from all around the world. It’s a free app that allows people to explore more about Forks and ‘Twilight in Forks’ as well.”

If you have an iPhone, iPad (Brown brought his shiny new one to our studio), or whatever the big gizmo is next week, be sure to head over to the iTunes store and download the free app. Then stay tuned to this site, as each week we’ll be offering exclusive previews of what the “Twilight in Forks” guys have up their sleeve. It’s the next best thing to being in the real Forks itself.

“The app allows us to bring you some additional content,” Jason Brown, the film’s director, said of their cutting-edge strategy to keep the fans engaged. “Some of the feedback we’ve gotten through the blogs and through the app itself is that people want more. They’re interested in Forks and the community and different people in the movie. And so, over the next several weeks, we’re going to roll out more footage from the film that you don’t see in the movie and some of the other backstories and characters you haven’t seen yet.”

“We’re trying to do one special feature — in terms of video content — per week,” added Baur. “But we’ll also be sprinkling in some other things along the way, including photos from the film and production stills that we have as well as some music items along the way.”

This week the festivities kick off with a new, longer look on the film’s trailer. “The first thing we’re planning to release is an extended trailer for ‘Twilight in Forks.’ The trailer that’s been out there is a shorter, one-minute trailer and the one we’re releasing is a two-and-a-half-minute trailer,” Baur explained. “It goes into a little bit more depth and has a bit of a different flavor then the more commercial-oriented one that’s out there.”

“The trailer on the ‘New Moon’ DVD for ‘Twilight in Forks’ was cut by the studio and we helped collaborate on that, but they used a trailer specialty house to assemble that,” Brown said. “That’s the one I think most ‘Twilight’ fans have seen and it’s geared to be a little more commercial at 60 seconds in length.

“I think fans will like it,” the director said of the new, longer clip. “It introduces some of the characters you don’t see in the other trailer and gives you a different take on what you’ll see in the film.”

Exclusive Interview with York Baur, Producer of Twilight in Forks

twilight%20in%20forks Exclusive Interview with York Baur, Producer of Twilight in Forks

CBA recently had a chance to interview York Baur, the producer of Twilight in Forks, the 90-minute documentary video released in conjunction with Twilight Saga: New Moon on DVD.

Of course I was anxious as I sat waiting in Borders for York Baur to show up for our interview. He is the producer of Twilight in Forks, the video Summit is marketing along with the New Moon DVD. Who wouldn’t be nervous! The moment York and his teenage son, Alex, walked right over to me, I knew this would be, not just OK, but fun. He had cheated, he said. He looked me up on the Internet.

York and I had “met” months ago, when they were still self publishing Twilight in Forks. I was curious, how it all had changed. “We weren’t pursuing anything,” York said. In one whirlwind trip to LA, they were on MTV, chatted with Larry Carroll, and stopped in at Summit to give them a heads up about the venture. “Two weeks later, there was a deal in place.” York had high praise for Summit’s team, especially the Home Entertainment Division who he worked with, calling Summit the “antithesis” of everything people hate about Hollywood. “Summit is unique in many respects,” he commented, “but in particular because they are not afraid to take risks and try things, and be entrepreneurial. I think that is what has enabled New Moon to outsell Twilight in a year when DVD sales in the aggregate are down year over year, and that doesn’t happen by accident.”

My response to the video was to tear up in several places, as I relived my pilgrimage to Forks/Mecca, but I knew not everyone responded that way. “We got interviewed by the wall street journal!” Baur said. “But you know, they are journalists as opposed to a deeply personal reaction like yours and so it’s been more fun to watch twitter with the little bursts of “OMG, I really want to go!” Alex chimed in here, obviously proud and happy for his dad, “My dad called me into the office and you can just see the tweets flying by.” “Which is another good sign,” added York . “And you can see Portuguese flying by and Spanish and German. Its been fun because it is global. I followed a young lady in Chile -how she reacted to it- and I wished her well with all the earthquakes. She replied back, ‘Yes, we’ll get through it and this is helpful.’ So it is just fun to see that we are making people happy. Also someone in Brazil had a launch party for our movie. I have a picture of it. When people are having a launch party half way around the world… There are always haters, who don’t get it, who don’t get Twilight. Like John Granger, said in the video, ‘It is about people having this amazing literary experience.’ Who cares if Stephen King doesn’t get it?” Whether Forks is Mecca or, as suggested in the film, Eden, when people say “I came for Twilight, but I will come back for Forks”, York’s mission has been accomplished. He said he feels lucky to have the “lens of Twilight” to be able to show what an incredibly unique part of the world it is.

York told me they used a different technique from say, Michael Moore, in making the video. “Did you notice there is no narration, only the people talk?” York pointed out. “That was important for two reasons. First, it is more engaging if it is the people telling the story and secondly, we wanted the people to tell their story. That was important to us, to let everybody that’s in the film tell it in their own words“

Listening to the people tell their stories, like those of the Quileute tribe being derived from the wolves, one realizes there are an awful lot of co-incidences between the book and the real Forks area. For instance, Roy Black, an honest-to-goodness, real Quileute, talks about their legends in the video. For York, Charlene Leppell’s stories about the real Cullens and the “Cullen” house are the most intriguing. Charlene, a life-long resident of Forks, tells of a real Cullen family, who lived on the Quileute prairie. Cool, huh? Better yet, is the story of the Rixon house, the real “Cullen” house, not the Bed and Breakfast one in town. While researching the area, Stephenie Meyer came across a real estate ad for the Rixon house and used the information from that ad as a the basis for the Cullen House in the book. Little did she know how close the house she would go on to describe in the book would be to what that real house was.  There are pictures in York’s video from a fire, which would later destroy the house on the very day the Twilight DVD was released.  The Baur connection to the Rixon house goes back to fishing on the Sol Duc river, that runs through the property, when their kids were young. It’s way back off the highway, in the forest, over an old falling apart bridge, in a setting the perfectly mirrors what you would imagine the Cullen house to be. “All which Stephenie Meyer had no way to know – I mean she saw a real estate listing. She wouldn’t have been able to feel it, because she wasn’t there. If you ever see it you’ll see the setting is just spooky, not in a horror film sort of way, It is like the history of the forest is right there. It is incredible.”

It is all pretty incredible and we are so happy for you, York, and your company!

If you haven’t check out Twilight in Forks, you need to. (You have to see the real biology lab and the real biology teacher at Fork High!) Thank you York, Alex, and company for making this video so everyone around the world can feel a bit of what it is like to make that pilgrimage to Forks, Washington.

The Lawsuit over Twilight in Forks

twilightdocsmain The Lawsuit over Twilight in Forks

Fandango issues this article on the lawsuit situation over the covers of these two competing Fork’s documentaries. You can draw your own conclusions. Feel free to comment.

I’m sure any die hard Twi-hard would be down to watch multiple Twilight-related documentaries, but Summit Entertainment isn’t too keen on giving you that option since, ya know, they want to gobble up all the Twilight for themselves (and who can blame them?). Essentially, there are two Twilight documentaries in the works right now – both of which revolve around the real-life Forks, Washington, and the affect the Twilight phenomenon has had on the small town, which, in the book, is the home of Bella Swan and all her weird, vampiric cronies.

The first doc, titled Twilight in Forks: The Saga of the Real Town, was produced by Summit Entertainment and will be released next month on DVD in conjunction with the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Why not just release a doc like that on the New Moon DVD itself? Well, then you can’t make twice the money, can you?

Meanwhile, another documentary, titled Forks: Bitten by Twilight, was produced by a company named Topics Entertainment, and they’ve already sent fliers to retailers advertising their doc. Problem is Summit is taking issue with their DVD cover (both are pictured here), which features art that is very similar to Summit’s trademarked art and, as such, is very deceptive. Summit is now suing Topics Entertainment, and is looking to stop them from releasing the doc, among other things.

Check out the image of both DVDs in this post, and let us know what you think. Does Summit have an argument, or should both films be able to share space on the same shelf at your local retail store?
