It Came From Kuchar
"It Came From Kuchar" is a film about the legendary, underground filmmaking twins, George and Mike Kuchar. As kids in the 1950s, George and Mike began making no-budget 8mm epics in their Bronx neighborhood, starring friends and family. In the 1960s the Kuchars became part of Warhol's New York, underground film scene. The Kuchar brother's films have inspired many prominent filmmakers, including John Waters, Buck Henry, Atom Egoyan, Guy Maddin and Wayne Wang.

You’re forgiven if you’ve never heard of George and Mike Kuchar. Twin brothers out of the Bronx, they together and separately were responsible for some of the earliest films in the 1960s underground movie explosion: el cheapo marvels of filth and hilarity with titles like “Hold Me While I’m Naked’’ and “Diary of a Teenage Rumpot.’’ They’ve gone off the radar in recent decades — George to teaching and video diaries, Mike to spiritual wanderings and mystical filmmaking — but they’re still vital and still working in their late 60s, and without them independent film (real independent film, not that “Little Miss Sunshine’’ stuff) might not exist.
