This is Giuseppe Andrews -

The more perceptive among you will recognize him as the party-loving Deputy Winston from Cabin Fever (2002). Giuseppe has been acting since he was a child and starred in some fancy Hollywood fare like Independence Day (1996) and American History X (1998). But that's not what this thread is about...
Giuseppe is also a musician. Here he is singing one of his originals in the 2007 movie Look. Dig it, man -
That is one seriously motherfucking bitchin' song right there, I'm sure you agree. And he's got other classy tunes too. But again, that's not what this thread is about...
You see, Giuseppe Andrews is a filmmaker. More specifically, he's a maker of trash epics. Among his small fanbase, there are those who honestly believe him to be the greatest filmmaker in the world. Werner Herzog is a fan. So am I. If you've ever watched an early John Waters film and found yourself thinking that it was a little too slick, too polished, too coherent and too high-budget, then you might become a fan too.
Giuseppe lives in a trailer park, which is where he makes his films. Rather than work with trained actors, he casts friends, fellow trailer park residents and others from his area. These include his mental mate Miles Dougal, a homeless dude known as Vietnam Ron, and a 70 year old man named Tyree with a foul mouth and a compulsive urge to get his dick out on camera. The films are all shot within 2 or 3 days, with a budget of roughly zero. Often near scriptless, Giuseppe will make up dialogue within minutes of when the camera starts rolling. What results from this totally unprofessional, disaster-in-the-making ethos is a bunch of movies that are weird, crude, trashy, immensely fun and totally fucking original.
So this thread will be an ongoing project of mine: To watch and review all of Giuseppe's feature films and shorts (those that are available anyway). I'll also get to the recent documentary Giuseppe Makes a Movie (2014), a behind-the-scenes look at the unorthodox filming of his latest trashterpiece Garbanzo Gas.
First review up soonish. Get ready for some poop, teddy bear fucking and old man cock. You know you're excited. So am I.

Never heard of the guy, but I'll be keen to check out more from him. That's some funny stuff right there.
