While DumbLand is moving through production at a steady pace, the live action DV series Rabbits hit a snag when Lynch's neighbor complained about the filming taking place late at night up on the hill behind Lynch's home. Then my neighbor complains to the city, and I had to get extra lawyers, but nothing worked, and then the set had to come down. It's the most absurd, surreal, beautiful, and again, kind of stupid show. Kiino Villand, the itinerant RES photographer arrives, and Lynch tells him brusquely that he has 10 minutes to set up. Kiino looks crestfallen, but dutifully begins pushing lights up poles.
All photographers sweat.
It's the darndest thing. To picture it, imagine Good Night Moon 's dark side, and a format that's like a sitcom without the comedy. Instead, situations are made strange by the realignment of audience responses to mundane non-events. Lynch has been writing episodes of Rabbits , but says that he likes to discover a series as he goes along. Put simply, he likes the mystery.
