Keep your eye on the donut, not on the hole.
I am devastated, at a loss for words… Nothing could’ve prepared me for the news of David Lynch’s passing. The director who fished for ideas and made them live through his art has left us with a legacy that will carry on until the end of time.
While I had a slow start getting into his work, Twin Peaks changed the way I view cinema. More so, it gave me a…
