  • "what you realize is that the idea is more than you realize"

    im glad im not watching this high

  • Back in college my advertising teacher had us read the Universal Traveller. It explains this process David is talking about on this clip. The book looks like a Dr. Suess book but its all about solving creative problems and ideation.

  • One of those guys that you can't help but hold on to every word he utters...

  • @slonamu the guy started making films in philly before moving to LA. hence East Coast

  • @generalcircle

    Born to a middle class family in Missoula, Montana, Lynch spent his childhood travelling around the United States, before going on to study painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he first made the transition to producing short films. Deciding to devote himself more fully to this medium, he moved to Los Angeles, where he produced his first motion picture, the surrealist horror Eraserhead (1977).

  • east coast directors are amazing!

  • Always like listening to the master of avant-garde. :)

  • never heard him speak before.. odd voice but like what he says

  • Pretty well said.
