An interview with renowned filmmaker David Lynch where he discusses his creative process, collaboration with artist Frank Gehry, the allure of various media, and his advice for aspiring filmmakers.
Both David Lynch and I have been working on a new album. I like to say, ‘I’m a non-musician, making music.’ For me, it’s a world of experimentation. I have a studio that was built for the sole purpose of experimenting with sound and music. Again, it’s finding your way; trying to find some fantastic little chunk of gold, and build on that. It’s the same way in painting. All these media are very compelling, like a giant, happy magnet, pulling us in.
I heard through the grapevine that you wanted me to do something for Arles. I had been out to visit Frank many times in his studio and seen this giant room filled with all these models and I thought they would make great abstractions if they were shot close. I talked to Frank, he said, ‘go for it’, so I spent the afternoon photographing his models in his shop. I believe Frank’s mother’s family is from there; it’s a city we both really love. I can see the connection with music in Frank’s work, because his buildings are very musical. I think that everybody gets inspiration from all these different media, and you can be involved with many media these days. There’s much more freedom for us all these days. I have just fallen in love with a whole bunch of media, and I guess it’s true for Frank. A friend of mine once had an idea that Frank would make a film, and I would make a small building, and a documentary would be made of that. But that never came to be. Then my friends in Łódź, Poland talked to Frank about designing a beautiful building there. He designed an incredible building for that city, but meanwhile the politicians there got strange, so it hasn’t happened yet. My advice to a young filmmaker is always the same. Be true to yourself. Find your own voice and be true to that voice. Never take a bad idea, but never turn down a good idea. And, of course, have final cut. And be true to the ideas. I dream to keep on getting ideas and working
