DAY 1: INTERIOR GREAT NORTHERN
Monday, March 9th, 2009The cast and crew met at Voodoo Donuts at 8am and set off for the 3.5 hour drive up to the Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. My friend Bob Kendrick has lent us her bus, the advantage. It is truly an amazing vehicle, with a rocking sound system.

Jay and Benie of The Kiana Lodge graciously allowed us to come and shoot for the day. The Kiana Lodge is a beautiful location, it is where the original Great Northern Hotel interiors were shot, and it is also the home of Laura Palmer’s Log! One of the staff members of the Lodge told us that about a year ago the log floated out into the lake, with the current, and they had to retrieve it by boat. Now it is anchored to the shore.

We shot two scenes at the Lodge. The first was a scene with Ben and Jerry Horne in Ben’s office, the second with Doc Hayward, and Harry Truman in the entranceway of the Great Northern. Unfortunately we ran out of time at the end of the day, and didn’t complete the second scene.
