Queen of Hearts: A Twin Peaks Fan Film

This film was a long time, dedicated labor of love and it shows.

The writing is outstanding. Some of the lines blew me away. Interesting dialog and engaging monologues kept me immersed throughout the story. Nico was so good as Cooper I forgot I was watching a different actor. He gave Cooper a vulnerability that we hadn't seen before. Madison gave Annie new life. Annie was never a character that interested me. This film gave her strength and purpose other than a love interest. My outlook on Annie has forever changed. Seeing the relationships between Cooper, Caroline and Windom was fascinating and touching. Charlotte did a fantastic job at creating a personality bigger than life for Caroline. Bravo to all the actors in the film!

The cinematography is top notch. Interesting angles and framing. Never boring to look at and stays true to the original shows aesthetic.

The music is so good. Perfectly timed and poignant. Every time I would hear one song choice, I couldn't wait to hear what song choice would be next. There is a lot of personality in the choices and they are so well thought out. I think it might be my favorite aspect of the project.

It's a fantastic film done with a lot of love, heart and dedication. If you're a true Twin Peaks fan, this is right up your ally.

Unfortunately, there are trolls out there who are determined to inflict damage to this project. They try to seem impersonal about it in their posts but, don't be fooled. They are not judging it based on truth. This troll attack is premeditated. They probably haven't even watched it. So, pay no mind to them.

If you have enjoyed Twin Peaks in its entirety from 1990 to the present day, with the fantastic return in 2017, this film comes in 5 acts and has a similar feel to the episodic structure of the first two seasons. There are some surrealist touches here and there particularly when it comes to the genuinely well-done and sensitive portrayal of the Caroline Earle character as played by the charming and charismatic Charlotte Roi. This is a project which takes it time but does pay-off in its emotional weight and effective film-making. Well done to Cameron and his actors, a promising debut. Damn fine.

"Queen of Hearts" is without a doubt the greatest "Twin Peaks" Fan Film that will probably ever get made.

In my humble opinion, is is 100% canon.

Everything works to pull you back into the amazing world created by David Lynch and Mark Frost.

You get it all: Annie, Cooper, Caroline, Windom, the Lodges, Flashbacks, Flash Forwards and a climax that is stunning.

This was never meant to be a surrealistic mystery film in the conventional sense--but a character driven story about the most mysterious thing of all: human behavior.

I loved it from start to finish and I feel a true "Twin Peaks" fan will embrace it with open arms.

What a bold move to take on this dual spire of a story. Annie Blackburn and Caroline Earle, two women at the heart of this story. We also get to explore why such a man like Cooper would have an affair with his partner's wife. All of these characters collide in a huge character epic and it's thrilling from start to finish. Yes, if you're expecting a $30 million dollar production, you may be thrown back by the low budget of this film; though the people who made this clearly went above and beyond what a typical low budget production does. It looks great and the viewer is 110% committed to the story. Really well done and gorgeous.

Ok first it is a fan generated film, although quite well done considering. Basically centers on the Annie Blackburn character, providing both a prequel to Twin Peaks as we know it, and a bit of a sequel to top it off. Pretty much sticks with the canon mythology of the series and books, but gives an in depth concept to Annie and her importance, which of course sadly was never in the authentic Twin peaks show. Gave it a 9 for good writing and concept, taking away a point only for a technical issue, the night scenes were way too dark, hard to see on the TV. Being a fan film, one would not expect the same quality of actors as in the real Twin Peaks, so did not judge at all on that. I had a nice feeling of satisfaction at the end of this film. Long too, 4 hours or so, but it went by quite nicely. Highly recommend to all fans of Twin Peaks.
