Reason.tv at TromaDance: Q&A with the Toxic Avenger's Father

While in Park City, Utah Reason.tv's Ted Balaker sat down with independent film legend Lloyd Kaufman. Kaufman isn't just the father of the campy horror empire Troma Entertainment, the TromaDance Film Festival, and New Jersey's favorite superhero--the Toxic Avenger.

He's also chairman of the Independent Film & Television Alliance, and deeply concerned about the future of independent art.

Kaufman discusses the Toxic Avenger, TromaDance, and the South Park connection. He also weighs in on the democratization of film, devil-worshiping international media conglomerates, penetrating the hymen of the mainstream, and his new book, Direct Your Own Damn Movie.

"You can not penetrate the hymen of the mainstream, unless you get fucked."

Wouldn't you love to hear THAT as an Oscar-acceptance speech? I know I would...
