Impressions: A Journey Behind the Scenes of Twin Peaks is a series of behind the scenes short films by Jason S., released as part of Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series and Twin Peaks: From Z to A. Each film follows David Lynch throughout the production of Twin Peaks (2017).
Narrated and scored in an abstract manner by Josef Maria Schäfers, the short films intercut hundreds of hours of footage with new aerial photography of many of the locations, both those used for filming and featured in the series.
