A unique behind-the-scenes look at the making of David Lynch's cult classic, through the lens of makeup artist Jeff Goodwin. This intimate collection of Polaroids offers a glimpse into the film's production, from pre- to post-production.
Goodwin, Jeff - Blue Velvet: A Polaroid Diary
30 Nov 2026
Resident Music (Brighton)
On Monday, 30 November 2026, at Resident Music in Brighton, Jeff Goodwin will share his Blue Velvet: A Polaroid Diary, a collection of hundreds of never-before-published Polaroids taken on the set of David Lynch's 1986 cult classic.
What inspired Goodwin to create this visual anthology? As the film's makeup artist, he was already taking dozens of pictures to test and document different actors' looks, and it was only natural that he would turn his camera outward to capture other areas of the set.
What will attendees see in this Polaroid Diary? The collection includes snapshots spanning from pre- to post-production, inviting viewers behind the scenes of life on set, from field tests of "Mr. Ear" to goof-offs between takes, annotated with technical notes and anecdotes.
Why is this event worth attending? The Polaroid Diary serves as a record of both a commitment to craft and the admiration held by the cast and crew for David Lynch, and its release coincides with the 40th anniversary of the film. Tickets are with the button beside the article.
