Legendary filmmaker (George directed over 200 movies), painter, comic artist and actor George Kuchar is the subject of this 1983 documentary by David Hallinger and Gustavo Vasquez. The film presents George about a decade after he started teaching at the San Francisco Art Institute where he would go on to make dozens of 'class pictures' with his students. George discusses his obsessions and creative process, along with the writing and production of Thundercrack!, and a movie in progress at the time of filming about Bigfoot. Also appearing in the film are George's twin brother Mike, their Mom, and filmmaker Curt McDowell, among others. Before the documentary, the film George is most well known for will play: "Hold Me While I'm Naked" (1966).
