A mesmerizing collage of images and audio from the life and work of Jack Smith, the gay underground filmmaker, photographer, performance artist, and anti-capitalist, who worked in New York from the '60s until his death in 1989. The film also highlights include the story behind the Supreme Court case over the banning of his 1963 classic Flaming Creatures.
This film is co-presented by the Queens Museum of Art "New York States of Mind" exhibition program now on view through March 2008.

Nob Hill - A super-8 experimental short shot at the Nob Hill Cinema in San Francisco where dancers take it all off for the gay porn lovers. Unused super-8 footage shot for Frisk.
Built For Endurance - A treatment for the later work known as Frisk, Endurance is perhaps one of Verow's most talked about shorts and probably his best. Gives new meaning to carving turkey. Stars Frankie "Frisk" Payne.
