Turn on your Path Lights.

Over at DavidLynch.com, the "Interview Project" rolls on, having just unveiled interview 62 of their planned 121. (Six of the episodes are also making their theatrical debut in front of features at the IFC Center.)

But DLF.tv, the “Online TV Channel” for the David Lynch Foundation, the filmmaker’s organization promoting Transcendental Meditation, has got a premiere of its own. Today, a short called “Path Lights” starts a weeklong run on the site, directed by Zachary Sluser and starring the excellent John Hawkes, aka “Deadwood”‘s Sol Star/the object of Miranda July’s affections in “Me and You and Everyone We Know.”

(The site’s mandate is to “showcase high quality video content from the David Lynch Foundation events, compelling profiles and documentaries, exclusive content from David Lynch, and explore all aspects of creativity.”)

“Path Lights” is actually an adaptation from Tom Drury of his own short story, which ran in the New Yorker back in 2005, and plays, well, very much like a New Yorker short story adaptation, albeit a very sun-dappled, L.A.-set one. A trailer:
