Reddit reviews Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity: 10th Anniversary Edition

I second Bresson's Notes on the Cinematographer. Very fascinating, if not obtuse read (which could also be said about the filmmaker). I remember an old interview with Lance Hammer (the director of the masterpiece Ballast) noted that he kept that book in his back pocket on set.

Some other great reads :

Catching the Big Fish by David Lynch

Getting Away With It by Steven Soderbergh (but done as a conversation with Richard Lester, one of his favorite filmmakers)

And there's some great "(insert name of director) on (insert name of director)" interview style books. I remember the Mike Leigh and Federico Fellini ones both being enlightening reads.

There's Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity by David Lynch, as well as numerous youtube videos.

There's also interviews of many long-term TMers who happen to be tops in their chosen field in Norman Rosenthal's Supermind


TM is a recurring theme in the lives of myriad creative people around the world, with a large percentage of A-listers having learned TM as a kid, and still practicing it 10-50 years later.

TM is a kind of enhanced mind-wandering rest and long-term practice leads to a situation where normal mind-wandering becomes more and more TM-like as the years pass. In traditional yoga, the deepest point of meditaiton, samadhi, is sometimes called "pure creativity," so there's a traditional explanation for why so many top-tier creative professionals have been doing TM for most/all of their professional career.
