Eraserhead stamp

Eraserhead is a surreal horror film written and directed by David Lynch, and released in 1977.
In 1971, Lynch moved to Los Angeles to pursue an MFA (Masters of Fine Arts) degree at the AFI Conservatory.
At the Conservatory, Lynch began working on his first feature-length film, Eraserhead, using a $10,000 grant from the AFI.
The grant was not sufficient to complete the film and, as a result, Lynch worked on Eraserhead intermittently until its release in 1977.
Lynch used money from friends and family, including boyhood friend Jack Fisk, a production designer and the husband of actress Sissy Spacek, and from odd jobs to finish the film.
