Chrystabell Chrystabell is a singer, musician, and actor, performing onstage since the age of seven. Since 2011 she has headlined tours in over 40 countries and more than100 cities while releasing seven critically acclaimed albums. Her deeply expressive voice and striking visual presence caught and held the attention of legendary artist David Lynch, who championed her and served as co-writer and producer on three of her albums. A starring role as Special Agent Tammy Preston in Lynch’s 2017 Twin Peaks: The Return  marked her first foray as a professional television actor, acting alongside Lynch, Laura Dern, and Miguel Ferrer in what Time Magazine hailed as “the best TV show of the decade.” Most recently she is the star of “Cosmic Crown” (2023), a short film exploring consciousness and sacred sexuality. Chrystabell and Lynch appeared on the cover of the August 2024 issue of The Wire, celebrating Cellophane Memories, the final album that they made together, released on Sacred Bones records. David Lynch directed music videos for two of their songs from the album, both starring Chrystabell: “Answers to the Questions” and “Sublime Eternal Love.” Chrystabell has appeared in a wide array of print and digital publications, including Vogue Italia, Interview, Rolling Stone, LA Times, The Observer, The Guardian, Pitch fork, Texas Monthly, W, Modzik, Dazed and Confused, FLOOD, Grazia, Numero, Nowness, and more. She is featured in the June 2025 print issue of Vanity Fair in an article by editor Mike Hogan titled “As Twin Peaks Turns 35, the Mystery Is Still the Message for a World of Fans” with images of her by David Lynch and Elias Tahan. “Chrystabell looks like a dream and sounds like a dream, and the dream is coming true.” - David Lynch David Gatten "The films of David Gatten brand the brain and the retina with equal force. They consist partly of  cerebral puzzles and partly of lyrical reveries, and their central drama lies in the space between, where  facts transform into poetry and transient experiences are assimilated into systems of knowledge. As  they construct around them gigantic conceptual edifices, his films contain sequences that decompose  mental activity, obliterate the formation of thoughts. No Hollywood director, no matter how big their  budget, offers images as carefully calibrated as Gatten’s." – Tom McCormack, Moving Image Source Since 1992, the films of David Gatten have consistently explored the intersection of the  printed word and moving image. These movies measure the movement of desire across  distance, and the manner in which books, letters, telegrams, and other written, printed, or  electronic communications might both produce and mediate that distance. A  2010 Film Comment critics’ poll of artists cinema in the 21st c. placed Gatten within the top  ten filmmakers, and included three of his films in a list of the fifty best individual works of the  decade. In 2021 The Extravagant Shadows was named the "Best Experimental Feature Film  of the Decade 2011-2020" in the journal Senses of Cinema. His films have been included twice in the Whitney Biennial (2002, 2006), as well as in the  exhibition "The American Century: Art & Culture, 1900-2000" at the Whitney Museum of  American Art. His most recent feature-length work premiered at the Museum of Modern Art,  NYC in 2021. Since 2012 major retrospectives of Gatten’s films have been mounted by the National  Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; SF MoMA; Wexner Center for the Arts; Los Angeles Film  Forum; Harvard Film Archive; Austrian Film Museum; Nation Film Archive of the Czech  Republic, Prague; Irish Film Institute, Dublin; Festival International de Cine de Gijon, Spain;  National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea; La Région Central,  Santiago, Chile, and a number of universities in North America and Europe. Significant recent screenings include festivals in London, Toronto, Rotterdam, Berlin, Vienna,  Bangkok, Tokyo, and exhibitions at the Tate Modern, London; ICA-London; Cinémathèque  Française, Paris; Anthology Film Archives, Gladstone Gallery, and Exit Art, NYC; Pierogi,  Brooklyn; Paul Young Projects, LA; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco.
