Udo took a chance on my rinky-dink festival in Vancouver back in 2000 - he went on TV interviews with me, carried 35mm film prints up stairs, went to get me coffee and even live-dubbed Giancarlo Giannini's voice when BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA showed up without subs. RIP Udo, you were a star 🌟

Gumroad purchase is also available ofc, but that level of accessibility on a sliding scale is one of the reasons I am constantly singing their praises as a distributor
