Paul Morrissey

Paul Morrissey (1939, New York) worked for an insurance company and was a social worker before he started making underground films in the sixties. He structured the film production of Andy Warhol's Factory and also introduced more conventional directing forms. After the Factory he made several full-length features, not without wry humour.
