World renowned Director and Filmmaker, David Lynch is known for his creativity and big ideas. He attributes his ability to catch creative ideas to his 35 years practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique. Inspired by his experience of “diving within” through meditation, David Lynch has established a Foundation that is dedicated to providing students with the opportunity to learn how to meditate. The David Lynch Foundation funds and implements stress reducing programs that improve creativity, brain functioning, and academic performance. These programs have also been documented to reduce ADHD and other learning disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. The Transcendental Meditation technique is the most thoroughly researched and widely practiced program in the world for developing the full potential of human consciousness. The Foundation was established in 2005 and has provided millions of dollars to teach the TM technique to thousands of students all over the world.
After three successful years of implementing the TM technique in schools, The David Lynch Foundation introduces DLF.TV: The new Online TV Channel that celebrates consciousness, creativity and bliss. DLF.TV will showcase high quality video content from the David Lynch Foundation events, compelling profiles and documentaries, exclusive content from David Lynch, and explore all aspects of creativity.

Adrien used to live in England where she studied Musical Theater and performed on the West End. Eventually she got deported (long story) and moved back to her hometown of Fairfield, Iowa where she started showing up at the DLFTV offices every day, convinced they would eventually hire her if she was pushy enough. She is thrilled that it worked. In her spare time Adrien sings in an electro-dance band called Trouble and glamorizes her small town life by wearing giant platform shoes.

Amy was the first person to get a David Lynch Foundation TM scholarship. She lied about working for a newspaper to get an interview with David and pulled it off (but don't try it). She is a legitimately good photographer, has rad tattoos, and makes excellent cupcakes.
