  • John Waters (Writer/Director)
    John Waters (Writer/Director) Born in Baltimore, MD in 1946, John Waters was drawn to movies at an early age, particularly exploitation movies with lurid ad campaigns. He subscribed to Variety at the age of twelve, absorbing the magazine's factual information and its lexicon of insider lingo. This early education would prove useful as the future director began his career giving puppet shows for children's birthday parties. As a teen-ager, Waters began making 8-mm underground movies influenced by the likes of Jean-Luc Godard, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Russ Meyer, Ingmar Bergman, and Herschell Gordon Lewis. Using Baltimore, which he fondly dubbed the "Hairdo Capitol of the World," as the setting for all his films, Waters assembled a cast of ensemble players, mostly native Baltimoreans and friends of long standing: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole and Edith Massey. Waters also established lasting relationships with key production people, such as production designer Vincent Peranio, costume designer Van Smith, and casting director Pat Moran, helping to give his films that trademark Waters "look." Waters made his first film, an 8-mm short, Hag in a Black Leather Jacket in 1964, starring Mary Vivian Pearce. Waters followed with Roman Candles in 1966, the first of his films to star Divine and Mink Stole. In 1967, he made his first 16-mm film with Eat Your Makeup, the story of a deranged governess and her lover who kidnap fashion models and force them to model themselves to death. Mondo Trasho, Waters' first feature length film, was completed in 1969 despite the fact that the production ground to a halt when the director and two actors were arrested for "participating in a misdemeanor, to wit: indecent exposure." In 1970, Waters completed what he described as his first "celluloid atrocity," Multiple Maniacs.

I am overwhelmed by just thinking about the many people who have helped me to reach this place where I am at and I am so incredibly grateful. I would be remiss to not start at the beginning and mention my Senior High School English teacher who first began to teach me that cinema was something I could both love and engage with intellectually. I will never forget that John Erwin started me on this path by loaning me great films and being kind enough to sit down and talk with me about them. In my undergrad at Oklahoma State University I was lucky to have a mentor who understood my passion for the subject of media studies and how best to direct it. Hugh Manon was extremely important to my early development as a scholar and encouraging me to go to graduate school.

  • Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with John Waters
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH JOHN WATERS In the films of John Waters, “The Pope of Trash,” outrageous behavior co-exists with genuine humanism. After his genuinely shocking Pink Flamingos , Female Trouble , and Desperate Living , he made the surprise move of directing a PG-rated musical, Hairspray , which placed its classic teen love story against the backdrop of early-1960s racial integration. Sadly, the movie was Waters’s last collaboration with the actor Divine, who died a week after its release. Waters spoke about Hairspray as part of a Moving Image retrospective of his films. A Pinewood Dialogue following a screening of completely obsessed by it.
