THE DEGENERATE: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF ANDY MILLIGAN

Pioneer. Outsider. Auteur. Clawing his way from the depths of ‘60s independent cinema straight to the abyss of grindhouse infamy like no other filmmaker in history, Andy Milligan was the highly prolific writer, director, cinematographer, editor, set decorator, and costume designer of such infamous jams as THE GHASTLY ONES, BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS, GURU THE MAD MONK and FLESHPOT ON 42ND STREET. Through a series of revealing interviews with many of Milligan’s performers, enablers, co-conspirators and his biographer — along with copious clips from his deranged oeuvre — a portrait emerges of a gutter auteur who battled and antagonized his own demons to become one of the most transgressive outsider artists of the 20th century.
