Tim Ritter

A quirky, gonzo peek behind the curtain into the mad mind of schlockmeister extraordinaire Donald Farmer. Known as the Budget Master of Tennessee, Farmer is the undisputed king of SOV Cinema, a DIY legend who’s carved a blood-soaked path through five decades of horror, trash, and straight-to-video gold. Starting in the 1970s with a series of Super 8 films before transitioning to the “profitable” promise of videotape, Farmer found success with hypnotically gory, offbeat features—films that often hid sweet, romantic cores beneath their eye-popping VHS covers. A true original, Donald has been a writer for Fangoria, an actor, and even a reality TV star.
