In 1970, he received an American Film Institute fellowship and relocated to work on the feature project that would eventually become “Eraserhead.” An unclassifiable movie that Mr. Lynch would always associate with Philadelphia, “Eraserhead” concerned a depressed young woman and a bewildered young man with a freakish coiffure cohabiting a hellish industrial urban nowhere, their conjugal life rendered unbearable by the mewling of their hideous mutant offspring (which resembled, but was never identified as, an animated skinned rabbit).
1970 年，他獲得了美國電影協會獎學金，並開始參與後來成為《橡皮頭》的劇情片計畫。 《橡皮頭》是一部難以歸類的電影，林奇總是把它與費城聯繫在一起。男子共同生活在一個地獄般的工業城市偏僻地區，他們醜陋的變異後代（類似於一隻被剝皮的動畫兔子，但未被確認）的嗚咽聲讓他們的婚姻生活難以忍受。。
