David Lynch, like many other filmmakers before him and many who will follow in his path, was drawn to Los Angeles because of the city's natural and near-constant light.
In the 2016 documentary, "David Lynch: The Art Life" — which features Lynch speaking at length about his early days as an artist, his transition from painting to film, and the surreal minutiae of adolescence that led to him developing his signature "Lynchian" style — the light of the city he made his home for 55 of his 78 years and the light of his own inner creativity are shown as two connected wires producing one big spark that will exist long after the sun itself explodes in the sky above us.
