Tom Shaw

I'm going to do a video piece for the review on Tom Shaw, quite a character in the film community here in the seventies and eighties. I worked for him from time to time. He was the area's porno king who made terrible action films, two of which got distributed. That's him on the right. He had no directing talent but considerable inventor talent and mainly had a heart of gold, helping out many young film artists here, including Penny Allen and Gus Van Sant. Yost and I agreed he is a forgotten figure.
