  • John Waters (Writer/Director)

    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.

    Chapter 1 The Roots Baltimore. The story of Hairspray begins here, as does the story of its director. John Samuel Waters, Jr was born in Maryland’s largest municipality on April 22, 1946. He was raised in suburban Lutherville, in an upper-middle-class Catholic home. His parents, Patricia Ann Whitaker and John Samuel Waters, a successful manufacturer of fire- protection equipment, provided him with a happy and conventional childhood despite recognizing early on that their eldest child was “an odd duck” (Waters, 2004b).1 For example, he was obsessed with cata- strophic automobile wrecks, fires (an interest he shared with his father), hurricanes, and disasters in general, all of which fed the grisly fantasies of his precocious imagination. He was drawn to stagecraft, costuming, and showmanship, always with an entrepreneurial edge. Neighborhood children paid a nickel for admission to his family’s garage, which Waters transformed into a “horror house.” He staged puppet shows for local birthday parties at US$20 a pop, presenting hyper-violent versions of Cinderella and Punch and Judy. He devel- oped a particular fascination with the stage actor, Cyril Ritchard’s portrayal of Captain Hook, so much that the young Waters attempted to imitate him by scotch-taping his fathers’ neckties to his head to cre- ate the appearance of long, pirate locks. Growing COPYRIGHTEDup, Waters loved the movies. He especiallyMATERIAL enjoyed horror films, films with evil villains, or anything involving a gimmick. In the late 1950s, he became a fan of the director William Castle, the “King Hairspray, First Edition. Dana Heller. © 2011 Dana Heller.

Caruso, Larry Dean, Henny Garfunkel This September at BFI Southbank, featuring a night with John Waters on stage “in conversation” with season curator Justin Johnson “Where do these people come from? Where do they go when the sun goes down? Isn’t there a law or something?” - Film critic Rex Reed on John Waters’ Female Trouble Friday 3 July 2015, London From 1 September – 6 October 2015 BFI Southbank will be celebrating 50 years of filth, with a retrospective dedicated to the legendary film director John Waters, famous for cult hits such as Pink Flamingos (1972), Female Trouble (1974) and Hairspray (1988) as well as bigger budget films like Cry Baby (1990) and Serial Mom (1994) starring Johnny Depp and Kathleen Turner respectively. The season It isn’t Very Pretty… The Complete Films of John Waters (Every Goddam One of Them…) couldn’t claim to be screening ‘every goddamn one’ of his films without including Waters’ earliest forays into filmmaking, and the BFI is thrilled to be able to include, completely free of charge, his short films from the 60s, which have never been seen in the UK. John Waters will take to the BFI Southbank stage for a very special In Conversation event with season curator Justin Johnson on Friday 18 September, as well as introduce a number of screenings during the season. As an additional treat John Waters has also personally selected six eclectic British films to accompany the season in a dedicated sidebar Teabaggin’ in the Kitchen Sink: My Favourite British Films – these films have moved or inspired him in some shape or form, and include Joseph Losey’s Boom! (1968) and Roger Michell’s The Mother (2003).
