David Lynch
David Keith Lynch( born January 20, 1946) is an American filmmaker, painter, musician, actor, and photographer.
He is best known for films such as" Eraserhead"( 1977)," Blue Velvet"( 1986) and" Mulholland Drive"( 2001), often regarded by critics as among the best films of their respective decades, and for his successful 1990 – 91 television series" Twin Peaks", which led to him being labeled" the first popular Surrealist" by noted film critic Pauline Kael.
A recipient of an Academy Honorary Award in 2019, he has received three Academy Award nominations for Best Director, and has won France's César Award for Best Foreign Film twice, as well as the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival and a Golden Lion award for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival.
He has been described by" The Guardian" as" the most important director of this era", while All Movie called him" the Renaissance man of modern American filmmaking".
Born to a middle- class family in Missoula, Montana, Lynch spent his childhood traveling around the United States before he studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he first made the transition to producing short films.
He moved to Los Angeles, where he produced his first motion picture, the surrealist horror film" Eraserhead"( 1977).
After" Eraserhead" became a success on the midnight movie circuit, Lynch was employed to direct the biographical film" The Elephant Man"( 1980), from which he gained mainstream success.
He was then employed by the De Laurentiis Entertainment Group and proceeded to make two films: the science- fiction epic" Dune"( 1984), which proved to be a critical and commercial failure, and then a neo- noir mystery film" Blue Velvet"( 1986), which stirred controversy over its violence but later grew in critical reputation.
Next,
Lynch created his own television series with Mark Frost, the popular murder mystery entitled" Twin Peaks"( 1990 – 1991).
He also created a cinematic prequel,( 1992), a road film" Wild at Heart"( 1990) and a family film" The Straight Story"( 1999) in the same period.
Turning further towards surrealist filmmaking, three of his subsequent films operated on dream logic non-linear narrative structures:" Lost Highway"( 1997)," Mulholland Drive"( 2001), and" Inland Empire"( 2006).
Meanwhile, Lynch embraced the Internet as a medium, producing several web- based shows, such as the animated" DumbLand"( 2002) and the surreal sitcom" Rabbits"( 2002).
Lynch and Frost reunited for a third season of" Twin Peaks", airing in on Showtime in 2017.
Lynch co-wrote and directed every episode, as well as reprising his role as Gordon Cole.
Lynch's other artistic endeavours include: his work as a musician, encompassing three studio albums—" Blue BOB"( 2001)," Crazy Clown Time"( 2011) and" The Big Dream"( 2013) —as well as music and sound design for a variety of his films; painting and photography; writing three books —" Images"( 1994)," Catching the Big Fish"( 2006), and" Room to Dream"( 2018); and directing several music videos and advertisements, including the Dior promotional film" Lady Blue Shanghai"( 2006).
An avid practitioner of Transcendental Meditation( TM), Lynch founded the David Lynch Foundation in 2005, which sought to fund the teaching of TM in schools and has since widened its scope to other at-risk populations, including the homeless, veterans and refugees.
In 2019, he received an Academy Honorary Award; his first Oscar win.

I Want Your Love (film)
I Want Your
Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film.
Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews.
The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons.
The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes.
The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword.
This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.
California Winter
California Winter is an American drama film from 2012.
Lost Highway (film)
Lost Highway is a 1997 neo- noir film directed by David Lynch and co-written by Lynch and Barry Gifford.
It stars Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty, and Robert Blake.
The film follows a musician( Pullman) who begins receiving mysterious VHS tapes of him and his wife( Arquette) in their home, and who is suddenly convicted of murder, after which he inexplicably disappears and is replaced by a young mechanic( Getty) leading a different life.
" Lost Highway" was financed by the French production company Ciby 2000 and was largely shot in Los Angeles, where Lynch collaborated with frequent producer Mary Sweeney and cinematographer Peter Deming.
Lynch has described the film as a" psychogenic fugue" rather than a conventionally logical story, while the film's surreal narrative structure has been likened to a Möbius strip.
The film's soundtrack, which was produced by Trent Reznor, features an original score by Angelo Badalamenti and Barry Adamson, as well as contributions from artists including David Bowie, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein and The Smashing Pumpkins.
Upon release," Lost Highway" received mixed reviews and grossed$ 3.7 million in North America after a modest three- week run.
Most critics initially dismissed the film as incoherent, but it has since attracted a cult following and critical praise, as well as scholarly interest.
" Lost Highway" is the first of three Lynch films set in Los Angeles, followed by" Mulholland Drive" in 2001 and" Inland Empire" in 2006.
In 2003, the film was adapted as an opera by the Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth.
