Nine years ago today, September 29, 2017, the last starring role of the great Harry Dean Stanton released theatrically.

David Lynch is my favorite filmmaker. But he also chafed at the restrictiveness of the “auteur” label and, across six decades, lent his visage and voice to a surprisingly robust, unexpected (and frequently silly) list of onscreen credits. So I wrote a book about it! #DavidLynch #TheDreamersPath

But that's what makes him so interesting." - Duwayne Dunham on David Lynch, in THE DREAMER'S PATH
