From an early age David Lynch was inspired by the arts and the warm inner glow that comes with the pursuit of creative
expression. An artist of many talents, Lynch not only directs, he pursues artistic expressions as a writer, a painter,
still photographer, and musical composer among other endeavors. Produced during the making of the film "Lost Highway",
this is more than a story about the making of a movie, "Pretty as a Picture: the Art of David Lynch" looks at how this modern
day Renaissance man makes a motion picture, and examines through his artistic explorations, the very nature of creativity, its
nurture and fulfillment. The making of "Lost Highway" provides the framework for a more personal story examining what
inspired him to draw as a youth, to his first films, and a life-long quest for creative expression.
