Kuchar and his twin brother Michael practically invented the \u201ccamp\u201d genre. He prided himself on making films with non-actors, script, or theme, for almost no money. The 8mm movies he made in the 60s were as important a part of the underground film scene as those made by by Andy Warhol, Kenneth Anger, and Stan Brakhage.<br \/>\nSee for yourself, here\u2019s his \u201cmasterpiece\u201d, Hold Me While I\u2019m Naked, a semi-autobiographical short about a pornographer.
