David Lynch rarely comments on his films and artistic work. In 'Catching the Big Fish', he provides insights into his working methods, shares his journey into art, discusses formative encounters and experiences, and offers his perspective on cinema, films, and filmmaking. In short chapters, he explores various aspects of his art and provides numerous tips for young filmmakers; he also emphasizes the immense significance that his decades-long daily practice of Transcendental Meditation has for his creative output. Thus, his book is not only aimed at die-hard Lynch fans who want to learn more about the surreal worlds of the master director but also at anyone seeking greater creativity and personal well-being within themselves and the world.
