David Lynch is a director from an art background, attending the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and was interested in painting and drawing from and early age. He is also a professional composer, who has always had an interest in music also (which is what his career is mainly focussed on now). He became a film director through his artistic background; his creativity lead him to experiment with film in a different way to what the world had seen before, making more abstract pieces with complex, disturbing or confusing narratives, if there was any narrative at all.
He inspired me because I am interested in the artistic side of film - expressionism from the perspective of the filmmaker rather than consumerism and making something purely for the audience. Therefore most of his films, coming from his own imagination, leave audiences feeling baffled because they are down to personal interpretation; I think this is important because I believe art is subjective, where filmmaking most certainly is an art.
