Lynch set to self-release 'Empire'


November 16, 2006 "A conventional distributor is a heartache, and I'm finished with that," the director said as he unveiled plans to release his psychodrama "Inland Empire" through his distribution company Absurda and 518 Media in December. The tour, which had its first preview at the film's AFI Fest screening last week, also will serve as an Oscar campaign for star/co-producer Laura Dern. Pianist Marek Zebrowski will accompany the director and play music featured in the film, which Lynch describes as "Polish night music."
