I read in a newspaper article a looong time ago (it's stored in Colorado,
and I'm in Massachusetts, so don't ask me for the reference), that Frank
Silva works a lot for Patricia Norris, who was the production designer for
"Twin Peaks" as well as (I believe) _Blue Velvet_ and _Wild at Heart_. This
is how Silva became employed at L/F productions.
