By
Lloyd Kaufman, Lloyd Kaufman is one of the very few genuine auteur filmmakers. He has written, produced, and/or directed more than 25 films, including
The Toxic Avenger, Terror Firmer, Tromeo and Juliet, and Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. Kaufman is president of the world-famous
Troma Entertainment, the oldest and, arguably, the longest-running truly independent film studio in history. He is also the president
of the IFTA (Independent Film & Television Alliance), whose members produce more than 400 independent films and countless hours of
television programming each year and generate more than $4 billion in distribution revenues annually.
