With hundreds of films and videos over a career that spans five decades, George Kuchar’s prolific body of work has influenced and inspired the likes of John Waters, Todd Solondz, Atom Egoyen and David Lynch. He began making films as a teenager in the 1950s with his twin brother, Mike, and in the 1960s, the two earned distinction in the New York underground film movement for their creative low-budget effects, lurid plotlines and vividly compelling performances by nonprofessional actors, Kuchar’s Hold Me While I’m Naked (1966) was voted one of the 100 best films of the 20th century by the critics of The Village Voice.
