→Work with NIN/Reznor
He began making films as a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and his first major film, ''Eraserhead'', gained him a cult following in the late seventies, but his breakthrough wouldn't come until 1986 with ''Blue Velvet''. He later helmed the TV series ''Twin Peaks'' with Mark Frost, which brought him to a much more mainstream audience and also proved highly influential on many other television shows in its wake. The popularity of his films after this point began to decline, but he had a return to form with ''Mulholland Drive'' in 2001. Lynch has also recorded two albums, ''Crazy Clown Time'' and ''The Big Dream'', and is also an accomplished photographer.
==Work Connections with NIN/Reznor==
*Lynch recruited Trent Reznor to produce the [[Lost Highway Soundtrack|soundtrack]] for his 1997 film, ''Lost Highway''. It also included the newly-recorded NIN song "[[The Perfect Drug (song)|The Perfect Drug]]" along with "[[Driver Down]]" and "[[Videodrones; Questions]]", which were credited to Reznor.
*Lynch was also the original choice to direct the music video for "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]" in 1989[http://www.nin-pages.de/1989_Boston_Rock_Dezember_english.htm], but the job went to Eric Zimmerman instead.
*In a Q+A session before the [[2017/09/15_Chicago,_IL|2017 Riot Fest show]], it was revealed that "[[She's Gone Away]]" was written specifically for ''Twin Peaks: The Return'' and that a different (and possibly unreleased) song was originally presented to Lynch who rejected it, asking for something edgier. *Nine Inch Nails (billed as "The Nine Inch Nails" and consisting of Reznor, [[Robin Finck]], [[Mariqueen Maandig]], [[Atticus Ross]], [[Alessandro Cortini]] and Joey Castillo of [[Queens Of The Stone Age]]) appeared in an episode doing a mimed performance of the song, which also appears on the soundtrack for the new series. *A piece from the ''Twin Peaks: The Return'' soundtrack called "[[The Fireman]]" was used as intro music during the [[I Can't Seem To Wake Up 2017]] and [[Cold And Black And Infinite Tour|Cold And Black And Infinite]] tours.
