Luis Fernandez de la Reguera

Luis Fernandez de la Reguera (October 20, 1966 – August 14, 2006) was an American independent film director most famous for his 2003 documentary Rockets Redglare!

Living in the pre-gentrified Lower East Side, he played guitar in several punk rock bands including his own, "Orgy of One", and was a cover story in CMJ magazine.

Prior to becoming a filmmaker, de la Reguera also performed stand-up comedy, and owned the Big Plate recording studio on Ludlow Street.

In August 2006 while visiting friends in rural Phoenicia in Ulster County, upstate New York, de la Reguera lost control of his motorcycle and crashed.

In February 2006, Buscemi and de la Reguera sued Mike Broder of Small Planet Pictures for $1.75 million, alleging he failed to market, promote, and pay advance fees relating to the distribution of the film.
