David Keith Lynch (born January 20, 1946) is an influential American filmmaker, artist and musician who has worked with Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. He is most well-known for films such as Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and for the television series Twin Peaks.
Biography
Lynch was born in Montana and grew up all around the United States as his father, a research scientist for the U. S. Department of Agriculture, needed to relocate frequently. His idyllic upbringing and fascination with small-town America would inform much of his work. He became interested in art at an early age and would continue to draw and paint well into adulthood. His work is characterized by its surrealist and disorienting style and sometimes violent and disturbing imagery. His films often carry recurring themes and devices.
He began making films as a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and his first major film, Eraserhead, gained him a cult following in the late seventies, but his breakthrough wouldn't come until 1986 with Blue Velvet. He later helmed the TV series Twin Peaks with Mark Frost, which brought him to a much more mainstream audience and also proved highly influential on many other television shows in its wake. The popularity of his films after this point began to decline, but he had a return to form with Mulholland Drive in 2001. Lynch has also recorded two albums, Crazy Clown Time and The Big Dream.
Work with NIN/Reznor
- Lynch recruited Trent Reznor to produce the soundtrack for his 1997 film, Lost Highway. It also included the newly-recorded NIN song "The Perfect Drug" along with "Driver Down" and "Videodrones; Questions", which were credited to Reznor.
- Nine Inch Nails tapped Lynch sixteen years later to direct the music video for "Came Back Haunted" in 2013.
- Lynch was also the original choice to direct the music video for "Head Like A Hole" in 1989[1], but the job went to Eric Zimmerman instead.
- Nine Inch Nails (billed as "The Nine Inch Nails" and consisting of Reznor, Robin Finck, Mariqueen Maandig, Atticus Ross, Alessandro Cortini and Joey Castillo of Queens Of The Stone Age) appeared in an episode of the 2017 reboot of Twin Peaks.
