Intro: (0:00)
tip 1: (1:24) - Film is a beautiful language. Use it to do the abstraction of the emotion and other film elements
tip 2 - 2:28 - It’s only a myth that you need to suffer to create. Free yourself from the negativity and enjoy the creative process
tip 3 - 4:48 - The more HABITUAL your daily routine is, the more your mind is FREE for creatingiff
tip 4 - 7:07 - Find your own voice, stay true to that voice and always insist on the final cut
tip 5 - 8:55 - Write every major idea down as soon as possible because you will not forgive yourself if you forget them
tip 6 - 9:18 - The most important thing is what you fall in love with. And the reason you fall in love with it, is an abstraction
tip 7 - 9:55 - Writer’s block only means that you are still fishing [writing] you are just not catching any fish [ideas] today. You just need to keep fishing. You need to have patience.
tip 8 - 10:40 - Fall in love with the medium you create in and the ideas will magically start to flow
tip 9 - 11:45 - When writing down an idea, write it with such words, that when you read those words later, the idea will come back to you in full
tip 10 - 12:32 - If you decide to make an abstract film [like Eraserhead] don’t try to define it. Just make an honest film and let the audience interpret it for themselves

This is wonderful. Lynch is the most honest and inspiring filmmaker. He has such an organic process and I wish he had two lifetimes to direct movies.
pro trick : you can watch series at instaflixxer. Been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Rohan Gunner definitely, been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
@Rohan Gunner Yea, been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)
Well said
David is a 500 year old literal wizard that enjoys humanity enough to share wisdom with us if we would just listen a while
This man is full of wisdom; and he is willing to share it and that is just wonderful. Thank you for this video.
I wanna listen to him for hours
Why I resonate most with Lynch is definitely 💯 because of his background in fine arts. His unique take on whatever that he was trying to portray is absolutely non-linear, quirky.. simply we call it Lynchian, true as it is. I was trying to sleep last night and all I could hear was "TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION!" with Lynch's voice and his face floating above me. It was hard sleeping + meditating with a bunch of people snoring around me though.
The best hair in the biz
I wish there were more people like David Lynch in the world. Everything this man says makes sense to me. It can be so difficult to find like minded people to create with
The fact that Eraserhead "wasnt made for an audience" makes so much sense.
No one inspires me to make things more than David Lynch.
A well of wisdom, he should be protected at all cost. A rare gem.
I think his advice to write down 70 ideas is great because when you’re forced to write 70 ideas before writing, you are forced to come up with more and more
Exactly, well said 💯🙌✅
It's very true. I've forgotten amazing ideas before. And that's why I write down every good idea because it's devastating to let them go by.
I agree. I try my best to produce them into films and grateful to have a platform to showcase them.
Love to see the zeal and enthusiasm David has for teaching and sharing, thanks a lot for this, very inspiring.
This is such perfect timing for TIP #2. I for the first time in years and am doing relatively well for myself and have bene feeling guilty about moving into a nicer place and acquiring new stuff b/c I feel like I am supposed to be poor, starving, and suffering in order for my work to mean anything...it's so ridiculous! And the next rule about habits and routine...I always thought that the less 'bandwith' you used on daily life stuff then the more you could free up for the creative and abstract stuff. Thank you for this!
Most auteurs are so braggadocious about how good they are but this guy is so humble.
REAL WISDOM.
Literally everything he has said I will take like it's diamonds
Love this!! His explanation of why he started making films was captivating.
First I saw Instagram , I followed it, now watching on UA-cam good work keep continue !
Have a great day everyone✨
Thank you !
thank you so very much for catch all those big fishes. DL is pure light :""""
12:43 "would you like to expand on that a little?" "No."
But why did he pronounce it "expound"?
Your analysis is always great.please do deep analysis of The appartment 1960
Really great channel idea!
thank you
Wonderful advice and inspiration
Thanks team @outstandingscreenplay, I have been following since 2months in insta and then I tried your channel in UA-cam, and it makes me feel that the decision to check out your UA-cam channel was one of my best decisions I have made in recent times. Lol.
Jocks a part congratulations and keep going one day, when I am introduced to this world as an filmmaker I would love to share this channel. Thank you God bless you. Keep going.
Inspiration ❤️ master
I am so no fan of David Lynch. I really dislike his movies, but goddamn I love him as a person and all that knowledge he has. A great man indeed and we can only learn from him.
Maybe rewatch them
@@jongbong1912 I have seem them quite a few times. Besides of Lost Highway and maybe a true story his other movies kind of leave me indifferent.
THINKING.....Resistance....is the answer of writers block..Frustration is one...
How do you know if you have had an idea? I need help with this.
All this time whenever I heard him say "have final cut" I thought he meant have the editing software in ur computer LMAO.
😂
Plz make any video on Indian filmmaker
He's forgotten two or three major ideas, lol. Ive forgotten hundreds. I keep reminding myself to write them down but I just don't too often. That is probably the most practical advice I've heard.
2:00
The Elephnant Man
he's the ray dalio of filmmaking
Somehow I knew the first number ball drawn would be 9
This guy eats tuna every day for lunch? That explains everything! He's been suffering from mercury poisoning.
I did not understand the bit about "insisting on the final cut" - could someone help?
He refers about the final responsability to do the final edit in his films, and dont let others to do that for him (or for others).
this man's hairline needs to be donated to science.
HEY..IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW ONE OF MY OWN personality? Some what like david lynch
Dune 1984 > Dune 2021
Dune 2021 is just not as fun
I think the man is filled to the brim with wisdom, but I disagree with his 3rd tip. Daily routines and monotony are a complete hindrance on my creative process. Maybe it works for others, but not for me...🤷♂️
He even says it works for him. Not that everyone should mimic his routine.
and so were launched 1000 failed manuscripts. Don't listen to him, go make your own art with your own voice and just admire DL for being, well, DL.
there is a thing called "learning" you know
@@ThekingEC7 you just proved it.
@@jonathanchester5916 miserable loser
@@ThekingEC7 ok trigger - just one comment away from hostility. The log lady would be proud!
@@jonathanchester5916 you deserve it you're a dick. "So were launched 1000 failed manuscripts" what a negative way to look at the world. One of those 1000 you mock may go on to become the next Spielberg, kubrick, Coppola etc. Failure is admirable because it shows you were willing to try to succeed
