Cinema Atlas Connection
Of course, David Lynch. He's one of my absolute favourites. Especially Eraserhead. I think it's one of the most brilliant debut features. It's a film that constantly pushes boundaries and creates a truly unique, disturbing atmosphere. It definitely inspired me to think about how far you can push a vision.
