History of Cool and Next Step Studios are honored to announce the 17th April Hollywood premiere of Richard Green’s I Know Catherine, The Log Lady. The moving and intimate documentary is a look at the life and final performance of stage and screen actress and David Lynch collaborator Catherine Coulson.
Weeks after David Lynch announced the return, 25 years later, of his 1990 groundbreaking TV series Twin Peaks, Catherine, best known as the iconic Log Lady, learned she had terminal cancer. Not wanting to disappoint Lynch, her fans and her cast, Catherine struggled to live long enough to play the part of the Log Lady one more time before her own death days later. “The show must go on”.
I Know Catherine, The Log Lady will have its Hollywood premiere 17th April as the Closing Night Film of the American Cinematheque’s This is Not A Fiction Film Festival. The doc will continue screening around the United States including a weeklong run in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Glendale beginning 9th May. In New York, the doc will premiere 1st May at the IFC Center, with an encore screening 4th May.
Ahead of the premiere, Green shared, “When Donna DuBain told me what lengths David Lynch and Catherine’s closest friends went through to get her final performance as the Log Lady on screen, days before she died, I knew there was a great story there. In their own words, Catherine’s friends weave a riveting tale of who Catherine was and and how and why the show must go on.”
