Short description

A woman's dark and absurdist nightmare vision comprising a continuous recitation of the alphabet and bizarre living representations of each letter.

What's left behind the scenes

  • David Lynch received funding for the film from his friend Barton Wasserman, who was impressed by Lynch's first animated work (Six Men Getting Sick, 1966).
  • Among the sound effects accompanying the film, Lynch also used the recorded crying of his infant daughter, Jennifer.
  • The nightmare that formed the basis of the plot was taken from real life – a similar dream was had by David Lynch’s wife’s niece.
