Using never before seen footage along with rare films from Richard Kern, Nick Zedd and German filmmakers Jörg Buttgereit and Olaf Ittenbach, "Kill The Artist" takes a look at the ultimate power play - Sex and Death.

"Kill The Artist" reveals the extreme measures lawmakers and critics go through to censor avant-garde artists who walk the fine line between art, perversion, religion and devious sexual behavior.

The video was six years in the making, and developed over time into a piece of art-cocktail mixed with erotic journalism, and has now been released on DVD.

CreateSpace, a subsidiary of Amazon, has refused to produce the DVD on demand, in 2007, because of its extreme content.
