I’m not afraid to admit that I’ve never seen a David Lynch film. LOST HIGHWAY? Nope. MULHOLLAND DRIVE? Uh-uh. Yeah, I’m not very open-minded, I know. Well, if you’re like me, here’s your chance to experience David Lynch for free.
Yep, free. As reported by Brendon Connelly on his blog, David Lynch has collaborated with Digidesign on a free promo DVD that includes original interviews with the acclaimed director on bringing his unique vision to the screen with the use of technology that is easily obtained by indie filmmakers. Interspersed with behind-the-scenes footage from a ‘recent project’, Lynch muses on the art of filmmaking, offers wisdom to aspiring filmmakers, and shows the viewer the power of today’s tools to give you ‘room to dream’. Incidently, Room To Dream is the name of the DVD, for those wondering.
So, what’s the catch, you say? Well, the DVD is an obvious promo for Avid software, since Lynch makes extensive use of it in the DVD for his examples. Other than that, you’re in the clear.
