David Lynch on digital

Posted August 29th, 2007 @ 08:30 PM by Chris Kenny

MTV: You shot “Inland Empire” using digital technology. Will you ever go back to film?

Lynch: Never. Digital is so friendly for me and so important for the scenes, a way of working without so much downtime. It’s impossible to go back. Film is a beautiful medium, but the world has moved on. The amount of manipulation we can do, anybody can do, is so much the future. Film is so big and heavy and slow, you just die. It’s just ridiculous.

    So we’ve got Steven Soderbergh, David Lynch and the ghosts of John Ford and Orson Welles. This revolution is gaining steam.

    Someone tell Lynch to get a RED cam as Inland Empire looked terrible. Shame really, his older films look very cinematic.
