David Lynch

Filmmaker

When I worked in the film business in New York, doing all sorts of jobs, David Lynch was the new god in the film industry. He sort of reinvented cinema as an art form. His short film Eraserhead, which he made at NYU Film School, was considered highly original. He soon became a trendsetter for upcoming filmmakers. At that point, I didn’t quite agree; I thought Eraserhead was a bit artsy. But when I saw his movies—like Dune – yeah I enjoyed that movie,  Twin Peaks, Elephant man, Blue Velvet,  Mulholland Drive,I knew he was a genius and became a fan of his work. He had his own vision when it came to filmmaking: original, clever, and sometimes even funny—especially Twin Peaks. It’s sad to see him go, but he certainly left a legacy that will be remembered forever.
