Todd Verow was born in the town of Bangor, Maine on November 11th 1966. He studied film making, acting and directing at Rhode Island School of Design, Brown University and the AFI Conservatory. He made short experimental films and worked as a cinematographer before making his feature film debut with "FRISK" in 1996. Starting his own production company Bangor Films, Todd has directed over twenty-five features and numerous shorts, establishing himself as the most prolific auteur emeritus of the New Queer Cinema. Fiercely independent, Todd Verow produces his films using whatever money he has. He was one of the first filmmakers to embrace video as a cheap and easy means of production famously declaring that “film is dead” way back in 1997. He proudly describes himself as an underground film maker in the tradition of his idols George and Mike Kuchar, Kenneth Anger, Jack Smith and Andy Warhol.
