Separately, in May 2025, Lynch released a director's commentary for his short film "Showtime," in which he discussed the production process. He described the exterior shoots as stressful due to a lack of budget, noting that the crew could not close off streets and had to cut takes for safety. Lynch stated that the film is "based on a true story" and described it as "very bleak, very sad, but also unfortunately true," addressing themes of people "dealing with all the nonsense" they have to endure to get by. He also mentioned plans for future projects, including a short film titled "God's Country" and a feature film in development.
