A graduate of Kent State University with a degree in communications, Wayne Alan Harold has decades of experience in underground and independent film and video.
In the late 80s, he produced the "Toby Radloff, Genuine Nerd" segments for MTV News, then became one of the pioneers of low-to-no budget, shot-on-video features by co-creating the cult flicks Bride of Killer Nerd (1992) and Killer Nerd (1991) (both starring MTV's Toby Radloff), and the "lesbian serial-killer" comedy Girlfriends (1993).
In the late 90s, Harold wrote, produced, directed, photographed and edited his first solo film, Townies (1999). The black comedy about a small town overrun by misfits, was produced on a budget of $300 and was nationally distributed on home video and DVD.
For most of the 00s, Harold created web videos for Lurid.com. He and "Genuine Nerd" Radloff were also one of the first artists signed to Turner Broadcasting online comedy site SuperDeluxe.com.
In 2009, Harold produced and directed Night Music: The Art of P. Craig Russell, a feature-length documentary about acclaimed comics illustrator P. Craig Russell. The film has had public screenings at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus. It also inspired the Harold-created educational video series, P. Craig Russell's Guide to Graphic Storytelling.
