The David Lynch film, "inland Empire," opens in Poland today. Below is an except from the Wiki article about the film. I have one question - if he names films after the location where it is set....perhaps the movie should be names Lodz, Poland? How is what is termed the Inland Empire of California - like Lodz?

Filming and details
In a 2005 interview, Lynch spoke about the shooting process of Inland Empire, saying that, "I’ve never worked on a project in this way before. I don’t know exactly how this thing will finally unfold... This film is very different because I don’t have a script. I write the thing scene by scene and much of it is shot and I don’t have much of a clue where it will end. It’s a risk, but I have this feeling that because all things are unified, this idea over here in that room will somehow relate to that idea over there in the pink room."[5] .

Much of the project was shot in ?ód?, Poland, with local actors, such as Karolina Gruszka, Krzysztof Majchrzak, Leon Niemczyk, Piotr Andrzejewski and artists of the local circus 'Cyrk Zalewski'. Some videography was also done in Los Angeles, and in 2006 Lynch returned from Poland to complete filming. It is unknown how much of the video was actually shot in Inland Empire cities, as Lynch never obtained shooting permits required for indoor and outdoor shooting in the area.[3]
Every morning, Lynch handed each actor several pages of freshly-written dialogue.[2]
It is the first Lynch feature to be completely shot in digital video, shot with a Sony DSR-PD150. He has stated that he will no longer use film to make motion pictures.[1]
In an NPR "Weekend Edition" interview, Laura Dern recounted a conversation she had with one of the movie's new producers. He asked if Lynch was joking when he requested a one-legged woman, a monkey and a lumberjack by 3:15. "Yeah, you're on a David Lynch movie, dude," Dern replied. "Sit back and enjoy the ride." Dern reported that by 4 p.m. they were shooting with the requested individuals.
Inland Empire also continues Lynch's tradition of naming the project after the location where it is set.[3]
