“See, a painting is much cheaper than making a film. And photography is, you know, way cheap. So if I get an idea for a film, there are many ways to get it together and go realise that film. There's really nothing to be afraid of.”

American filmmaker and artist

David Lynch was an American filmmaker and artist, active for more than five decades. He became known for a body of work marked by a surreal, dreamlike sensibility, and his name gave rise to the term “Lynchian.” His films and visual art earned major recognition across cinema, including an Academy Honorary Award, prizes at Cannes and Venice, and several other honors. He was also nominated for major awards in film and television, and his work is often associated with an unsettling, distinctive style that shaped modern screen culture.
