Interview Lloyd Kaufman

Founder of Troma Entertainment and the author of the interesting and funny books: Make your own damn movie, Direct your own damn movie en Produce your own damn movie. Every aspiring filmmaker should read these books to be just a little bit succesful in filmmaking and life in general.

We did a short interview with him telling us something more about Troma, Dutch Film and mainstream film industries. He also gives us some filmtips. A very inspiring man.

What others say about  Lloyd Kaufman:

“Without Lloyd Kaufman, there probably never would have been There's Something About Mary or Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo.”
- Michael H. Klienschrodt, film critic – New Orleans Times

"Acclaimed directors such as Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Spain’s Álex de la Iglesia and Japan’s Takashi Miike have all sited independent film director Lloyd Kaufman and the infamous film The Toxic Avenger as major influences."
- Rupert Bottenberg

“The impact of Troma can be seen in nearly every independent filmmaker who cut his teeth in the video era, from Peter Jackson and Quentin Tarantino to South Park’s Trey Parker (who’s debut, Cannibal! The Musical was a Troma production), and the Troma universe has a devoted worldwide fan base to rival that of any comic book.”
- The A.V. Club – The Onion

“His (Lloyd Kaufman) string of low-budget, lowbrow horror comedies stretching back to the ’80s has been cited as influence by Peter Jackson, the Farrelly Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Takashi Miike, and Guillermo Del Toro, just to cite a few prominent examples.”
- Lou Lumenick, chief critic – New York Post
