Title: RIP David F. Friedman, Exploitation Film Producer
Post by: Raffine on February 15, 2011, 09:50:43 AM
David F. Friedman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_F._Friedman), producer of such golden age schlock gems such as BLOOD FEAST, TWO THOUSAND MANIACS, SHE FREAK, TRADER HORNEE, GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BARES, ILSA: SHE WOLF OF THE SS, and BOIN-N-G has passed away at the ripe old age of 87.

His DVD commentaries for several of his films with friend/business partner Herschell Gordon Lewis are priceless and filled with often hilarious behind-the scenes stories.


I never wanted to produce or direct adult hard-core films because my work ethic in exploitation is: "sell the sizzle, not the steak". - David Friedman

R.I.P. - one thing you have to say about the films he worked on, they were truly something different.

And never a dull moment. I've watched 2000 MANIACS 200 times,at least-a classick! Fred Olen Ray called him" a sideshow carny with a film can under his arm."
RIP.  :bluesad:
