MTV is reporting that the first footage of the documentary “Twilight In Forks” was revealed for a few lucky twilighters this past weekend.

FORKS, Washington — Staying true to a pledge made before the surprising acquisition of their independently produced documentary “Twilight in Forks,” the makers of the film traveled to the tiny real-life town that serves as home to the phenomenon this past weekend, unveiling footage for the first time to a few hundred lucky Twilighters.

Director Jason Brown and producer York Baur continued a lengthy relationship with the fanbase on Saturday as they visited the real-life Forks High School for a special screening to help celebrate the town’s annual Bella’s Birthday/ Stephenie Meyer Day festivities. Those in attendance were able to view never-before-seen clips from the first documentary on the “Twilight” phenomenon — a sneak peek that seems even more significant now that “Twilight in Forks” has been snatched up by Summit Entertainment and had its release date pushed back to early 2009.
