Mike Kuchar

Mike Kuchar (born August 31, 1942, in New York City) is an American underground filmmaker, actor, and artist.

Kuchar is notable for his low-budget and camp films such as Sins of the Fleshapoids[1] and The Craven Sluck.

[2] During the 1980s and 1990s, Mike Kuchar created comics and illustrations for homoerotic publications including Meatmen, Gay Heart Throbs, First Hand, and Manscape,[3] and continued to draw commissions afterward.

Swan Song features the pain of a young man tormented by his sensuality who is painted as an animal writhing in pain, and Dumped stars veteran stage actress Deirdre McGill in a portrait of a woman engaged in a deadly love triangle.

The Kuchar brothers collaborated on a book, Reflections from a Cinematic Cesspool (1997), a humorous memoir discussing four decades of filmmaking, with an introduction by director John Waters.
