Interrogation
David Lynch has died. So much creativity and mastery has died with him. A couple of years ago, I did an MA in screenwriting, and as part of that, we had to create a short film. I was inspired by a David Lynch short called “What Did Jack Do?”. It's so Lynch, dark, funny, weird and pushes a few boundaries and buttons… I loved the subversion of genre and ridiculous narrative. It is everything I love about Lynch. Unflinchingly him to the very end. I’m not putting this here because it's like Lynches film - It's simply my way of saying he touched me; I just wasn’t able to do what he does so effortlessly… because making a complicated SFX-filled dystopian crime short is really, really hard in your 6m square homemade studio… but I like to think he would have approved of us trying.
