DIR David Sieveking CAST David Lynch PRINT SOURCE Autlook Films FESTIVALS Berlinale, Palm Springs
To meet his favorite director David Lynch, aspiring filmmaker David Sieveking flies to the United States to hear Lynch speak about his passion for Transcendental Meditation. Sieveking is granted an interview with Lynch, who encourages him to try meditation for himself. It seems to work: he gets the funding for his film, but then his girlfriend moves away to New York. And as Sieveking delves deeper into TM's organization after the death of the Maharishi, he witnesses an ugly power struggle. Sieveking, director and protagonist, mixes personal discovery with investigative journalism and comes up with an odd, fully-engaging and wonderfully entertaining quest.
