Loyola Alum and Author Mike Miley to Discuss New Book Celebrating the Late David Lynch with Film Students

Author Mike Miley will discuss his new book about the late director David Lynch when he meets with students in Loyola’s Filmmaking program next week.

Miley, a 2001 Loyola graduate, will introduce a screening of one of Lynch’s most popular films, “Wild at Heart,” and participate in a question-and-answer session with students March 19 at 5 p.m. in the J. Michael Early Studio, on the fourth floor of the Communications/Music Building at Loyola. The event is free and open to the public.

Miley, who previously taught film studies and directing classes at Loyola, just published his new book, “David Lynch’s American Dreamscape: Music, Literature, Cinema,” which explores how Lynch’s work engages with literary and musical works that have shaped the American imagination. Lynch died in January at the age of 78.
