David Lynch dies at 78

David Keith Lynch, born on January 20, 1946, in Missoula, Montana, was an American filmmaker, visual artist, and musician known worldwide for his surreal and enigmatic storytelling. He passed away on January 15, 2025, at the age of 78.

Lynch's early years were marked by frequent relocations due to his father's work with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This nomadic lifestyle exposed him to diverse environments, fostering a deep appreciation for the arts. He pursued painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he began experimenting with film to add movement to his artworks. This exploration led to his first feature film, "Eraserhead" (1977), a surrealist horror that gained a cult following and established his unique cinematic voice.
