Really sad to hear that George Kuchar has died.

The Kuchar Brothers film collection “Color Me Lurid” on vhs was a delight to discover in the depths of my uni library all them years ago… Especially at a time when I felt starved of artistic input/output and craved to see some natural rebellion towards traditional filmmaking that at the same time pleasantly embraced what I think are the best bits of film.

After watching the Color Me Lurid films with fellow student Claudia Sarkany, I splashed out at the time on Desperate Visions, which got me through a dusty summer of endless henna tattoo painting at Bournemouth Pier. Recently I met John Waters who signed this book for me after showing his assistant “we haven’t seen one of these for a while have we?!” (was he amused, horrified? there was no time to ask), and I had a dream of one day meeting George and Mike to complete the signature set. Alas.

Hugely inspiring, comforting, tirelessly creating trashy masterpieces to the end, thank you George.
And I hope Mike is okay.
