In this Shorty we look at one of our favorite directors, David Cronenberg.
Cronenberg was born in Toronto in 1943. He wrote constantly as a child and had a strong interest in science, botany and lepidopterology, the study of moths, and the 3 superfamilies of butterflies. He first studied in the Honors Science Program and then switched to the Honors Language and Literature program at the University of Toronto, where he developed an interest in film.
After making a couple of shorts and a couple of art house films... in 1975:
ShiversAnd then in 1977-
RabidRabid caused quite a stir given it's lead was XXX actress
Marilyn Chambers. The star of the classic of 70's porn
Behind the Green Door was already controversial when it came to light that she was the "wholesome" product model for Ivory Snow.
