David Lynch is considered one of the most prolific auteurs of our time — he’s blessed the big and small screen with timeless titles like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks. In fact Twin Peaks is set to return in 2017. This upcoming documentary entitled, David Lynch: The Art Of Life explores the director’s existence and how he came to form his artistic vision. We get to find out through the lens of director Jon Nguyen how his childhood was and how everything came together when he made his critically-acclaimed works. According to the documentary film maker:

“From the very beginning, we wanted to make a film that focused on his early years, the period before Lynch discovered fame,” Nguyen told Empire. “We felt this period would be rich with clues to understanding such an enigmatic artist. Our intention wasn’t to pull back the curtain on the wizard, but to reveal the individual.”

David Lynch: The Art Life will premiere in Venice on September 4.
