Elmes tells IndieWire about "haunting dark corners" with the late filmmaker on "Eraserhead" and the great feedback Lynch gave him at the "Blue Velvet" DGA premiere.

Lynch, who was born in Montana in 1946, was a writer, director and painter who studied at the American Film Institute. He first broke into the movie scene in 1977 when he turned his thesis project into his first feature film "Eraserhead," a black-and-white surrealist indie film that quickly gained notoriety as a midnight movie.

David Lynch, the legendary director of "Twin Peaks" and "Mulholland Drive," is dead at 78, his family announced Jan. 16 on Facebook.

As the film community mourns the loss of visionary filmmaker David Lynch, Detroit's Redford Theatre is giving fans a place to mourn, and celebrate, his life and career. The Redford is showing Lynch's 1986 classic "Blue Velvet" on the big screen at 8 p.m. Friday, theater reps announced Thursday. Tickets, $7, are available on the theater's website.
