In a story from Vulture, they recently caught up with revered independent filmmaker David Lynch (Inland Empire). He discussed his next project which is going to be a documentary partly shot in India centered around Transcendental Meditation founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He said:
As Lynch is known for experimenting with many different cinematic forms he also discussed the films structure:
I’m going to make a film on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It won’t be a so-called David Lynch film, really; it will be about Maharishi and the knowledge he brought out. It’ll hold a lot of abstractions. We’re on our way to India in December to start the India part of it.
It’ll have to go in the documentary department, I think. I don’t think it’ll be a talking heads kind of thing, but we’re going to do a lot of interviews with people. We’ll interview - I hope - in India, a 97-year-old man who was with Maharishi from the beginning and get stories of times that weren’t so well recorded.
