“Twilight in Forks” Film Documenting the Town Behind the Twilight Books Coming to DVD October 15th

Film takes a look at the real people and places of the remote Washington state town behind the Twilight Series of books by Stephenie Meyer

FORKS, Wash. – Aug. 26, 2009 – In anticipation of the second Twilight film, New Moon, fans will soon be able to see and learn all about the real people and places of Forks, the remote Washington state town behind Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Series of books. Twilight in Forks (http://www.twilightinforks.com), available to pre-order today via Amazon.com, will be available online and in retail stores on October 15th.

Filmed in HD by three-time Emmy Award-winning Director Jason Brown, Twilight in Forks – The Saga of the Real Town, documents the story of the rainiest city in the U.S. – Forks – and the untold tales of its hidden history, culture and mysticism. Since the Twilight movies were not filmed in Forks, this is the chance for fans to see where Stephenie Meyer based her epic teen romance novels.

Are there truly vampires and werewolves in and around Forks? Hear from the real people living their lives in the town Twilight fans know and love. Fans will meet the Chief of Police and hear as he recounts the meal he cooked for Stephenie Meyer, the Forks Outfitters’ employee who gets mistaken for Bella, the vampire transplant who plays the real-life role of Alice, hear self-described Jacob’s grandfather tell the legend of how the Quileutes descended from wolves, and many more of the people and places, including the Cullen House, Swan House and police station, that make Forks the perfect setting for the Twilight Series.

The Twilight in Forks DVD is a must-have for Twilight fans young and old. For more information, visit Twilight in Forks on the Web at: http://www.twilightinforks.com.

The DVD gives you a chance to meet the “real” people of Forks. Now this is
something Kim and I know about first hand.

You may recall, Kim and I made that pilgrimage to Forks several months back. You
may also recall we ended up in the Forks emergency room. I think this fact gives me
the right to speak about a side of the people of Forks that most visitors do not see and
a documentary may not capture. You see, Kim and I were in a serious accident as we
were leaving town. As we scrambled up the snow covered bank, dazed and worried,
the compassion and love of the Forks-area natives kicked in, in full gear. Within
minutes, we were pulled from the cold to warm cars with heaters running, calls were
made in our behalf and the ambulance was on its way. The EMTs- Kevin and the
others, brightened our spirits and laughed about meeting Dr. Cullen as they drove us
to the hospital. These wonderful people stayed with us the entire time we were in the
emergency room, found us a hotel and drove us to get our things out of the now
demolished car. They went above and beyond what is expected of humans helping
strangers and we love them for it. This is the side of Forks we were privileged to see.
I only hope it comes through in the documentary.

The DVD will be available to the public on October 15. Pre-Order it by clicking here:
