He did teach at the San Francisco Art Institute, so that totally makes sense. I don't think you are unaware. He's not super well known in pop culture. My mind was just blown. You've worked with so many of my heroes. Thanks for all your great performances, including this one from one of my favorite Twin Peaks episodes as well. Thanks for the response.

I love that guy! His name is George Kuchar. He died last year and was an amazing avant-garde filmmaker. His "underground" films were shown with Andy Warhol, and other video artists like Stan Brakhage. Incidentally, he was a huge influence on David Lynch - as well as many others including John Waters.
I highly recommend his work. He has a great sense of humor and, unlike the clip, is not creepy. He made a bunch of films with his brother Mike Kuchar, some of which can be found at ubu.com.
"Hold Me While I'm Naked" is one of his more famous films, and I suggest to anyone interested that they start with that if they aren't familiar with his work.
