David Lynch, 1946 - 2025.

RIP David Lynch.

Though I knew this day would come, I’m still very sad. I can’t calculate the effect that seeing the very first episode of Twin Peaks had on me when I was only 14, except that it quite literally altered the course of my life. It opened up completely new worlds to me, completely fresh ways of seeing and experiencing life. Lynch’s films eventually led me to the work of Barry Gifford, which in turn led me towards making Roy’s World: Barry Gifford’s Chicago. And it was the thrill of my life when Barry shared my film with “Dave” and the word came back that he loved it.

As long as human beings are still watching cinema, his films will be there to inspire, perplex, and thrill.
