Blue Velvet: A Polaroid Diary arrives for the film’s 40th anniversary

In 1985, before anyone outside the production had seen Blue Velvet, Jeff Goodwin was on David Lynch’s set doing makeup and shooting Polaroids between setups. Those photos have never been published. This fall they are, in Blue Velvet: A Polaroid Diary.

The book pairs the Polaroids with Jeff’s own account of making the film. It’s a hardcover bound in blue velvet, with alternate covers and signed editions, published by Reel Art Press for the film’s 40th anniversary.

Where to get a signed copy

Jeff presented the book at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain, October 8–18. Two more signings are coming up:

• October 29, 7:00 PM: Free screening of The Black Phone with Q&A and signing, Hawthorne Theater, Hawthorne, NJ
• November 9, 6:00 PM: Talk and signing with Tony Nourmand, Rizzoli Bookstore, 1133 Broadway, New York City
