Personal Quote:

You could make anything and it sold. This was the free spirit of B movies back then. You took risks that the majors couldn't because the budgets were low and there was this new market called home video. You literally couldn't make enough movies to fill the demand. This led to a fun and playful attitude on the set. This was my adopted family and I had a blast getting paid to make crazy movies. See more »
