Mark Frost

Ojai writer Mark Frost will sit down with Mark Lewis on May 15 at the Ojai Valley Museum to discuss the eagerly awaited sequel to Frost’s classic TV series “Twin Peaks.” Frost and the film director David Lynch co-created the original series in 1990, and they have teamed up again for the sequel, which will air next year on the Showtime premium cable channel.

Frost also will discuss his experience working on another classic series, “Hill Street Blues,” and his books such as “The Greatest Game Ever Played,” which he adapted into a film directed by Bill Paxton, his friend and fellow Ojai resident. The wide-ranging discussion at the museum also will touch on Frost’s interest in Joseph Campbell, whose writings (“The Hero With A Thousand Faces”) have influenced Frost’s approach to storytelling. Campbell will figure as a character in Frost’s next book, which will have an Ojai angle: It will focus on Krishnamurti.

The May 15 “A Conversation With Mark Frost” event will run from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Admission is $5 (museum members admitted free).
