Room to Dream

Co-creator of "Twin Peaks" and writer and director of "Blue Velvet", "Mulholland Drive" and "Eraserhead" David Lynch reflects on his experiences and their relationship to his creative and artistic development, interspersed with a focussed biography from McKenna drawing on interviews with ninety of the cult icon's friends and collaborators.

David Lynch advanced to the front ranks of international cinema in 1977 with the release of his first film, the startlingly original Eraserhead. Since then, Lynch has been nominated for three Best Director Academy Awards, for The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, awarded the Palme d'Or for Wild at Heart and established himself as an artist of tremendous range and wit. In 1990, Twin Peaks mania swept the country when his groundbreaking television series premiered on ABC. A new season of Twin Peaks aired in May 2017 to widespread acclaim. Lynch died in January 2025.
