| Bret Wood is a filmmaker, film historian, and graphic designer based in Atlanta, Georgia. He has long been associated with the distribution company Kino International, which has released several films he has directed: Kingdom of Shadows: The Rise of the Horror Film (1998),
Hell's Highway: The True Story of Highway Safety Films (2003), and Psychopathia Sexualis: From the Case Histories of Krafft-Ebbing (2006) All three films simultaneously celebrate and investigate famously perverse pools of visual and literary iconography. As a historical writer, he is author or editor of books including: Orson Welles: A Bio-Filmography (1990),
Marihuana, Motherhood, and Madness (1998), Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Film (1999), and Queen Kelly: The Complete Screenplay by Erich von Stroheim (2002) Over the last several years, Wood's filmmaking has featured open sexuality within lush, beautiful, and dangerous style; witness, witness Psychopathia Sexualis but also such short films as Judgment and The Sadist and the Masochist. As a designer, Wood has developed the graceful, elegant designs that have distinguished Kino's promotional materials for the last twenty years. Very generously, Bret Wood designed the logos for Cinema Purgatorio, LLC. MySpace * Blog
