All these men worked in film in the 1970’s and/or early 80’s. Some went on to work in video, as well. While some of these films I am just now discovering, most were up on that big screen at the Bijou Theatre on Wells St in Chicago, when i was young; or later, at the Jewel Theatre on 3rd Ave, in New York City (young, but not as young!) I keep adding as I uncover new tidbits, or have the time to edit, etc. I’ll try to post the “last time updated” for each director on this page, so check back for updates. Enjoy!
