During the 1980s, he produced watercolor paintings, video installations, and played guitar in several rock bands, most notably Alarming Trends,[1] the subject and title of his first film (1987).
As a director, Cramer gained national attention with his film Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend, a 1991 black comedy which was named "Best Drive-In Movie of the Year" by cult critic Joe Bob Briggs.
Cramer's first documentary film was Highway Amazon (2001), which told the story of Christine Fetzer, a female body builder who travels the country wrestling men in hotel rooms.
Cramer's multimedia piece Pillow Girl combined traditional film techniques with pulp imagery and experimental music.
