Lloyd Kaufman is co-founder and President of New York-based production and distribution company Troma Entertainment. Over the course of 35 years, Troma’s visionary body of work has had a huge impact on pop culture and today’s mainstream filmmaking. According to New York Post film critic Lou Lumenick, Kaufman “has been cited as a major influence by Peter Jackson and Quentin Tarantino, among others.” In 1984, Kaufman’s The Toxic Avenger led to an animated spin-off series, several different Marvel comic book titles and is now an Off Broadway musical. Kaufman, who has published five books and been honored by numerous international film festivals over the years, most recently wrote and directed Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. |
