‘The Degenerate’ Trailer: Controversial and Derided Grindhouse Auteur Andy Milligan’s Art, Impact on Queer Cinema Fuels Tribeca-Bound Doc (EXCLUSIVE)
Director Andy Milligan's wild works helped to shape both the grindhouse and queer filmmaking.
It includes interviews with Gerald Jaccuzo, Hope Stansbury, Jimmy McDonough, Stephen Thrower, Sam Sherman, John Borske, Robert Berlin, Ken Lane, Bob Likola and Alex DiSanto. Per a press release, “Milligan’s low-budget productions — on which he served as writer, director, cinematographer, editor, set decorator, and costume designer and included such ‘classics’ as ‘The Ghastly Ones,’ ‘Bloodthirsty Butchers,’ ‘Guru the Mad Monk,’ ‘Torture Dungeon’ and ‘The Rats Are Coming! Yet via revealing interviews with a gallery of Milligan’s performers, enablers, co-conspirators, and his biographer — along with copious clips from his deranged oeuvre — a portrait emerges of a gutter auteur who battled and antagonized his own demons to become one of the most transgressive outsider artists of the 20th century.”
