  • Wayne Alan Harold is an underground filmmaker from northeastern Ohio. Upon graduation from Kent State University in 1988, Harold formed a video production company with high school friend (and fellow KSU graduate) Mark Steven Bosko. The pair soon met "Genuine Nerd" Toby Radloff at the International Superman Exposition in Cleveland, Ohio and they ended up producing the majority of Radloff's segments for MTV News. In the early 1990s, Harold and Bosko founded Riot Pictures to make low-budget horror films to be released in the growing direct-to-video market. Killer Nerd and its sequel Bride of Killer Nerd, both starred Radloff as "nerd-gone-mad" Harold Kunkle. The low-budget films have a developed a loyal following due to Radloff's odd screen persona and their "so bad they're good" reputation. Harold and Bosko's dissolved their filmmaking partnership after the production of 1993's Girlfriends, a comedy about lesbian serial killers that did not feature Radloff. Harold and Radloff remained close friends. With the advent of digital video (DV), Harold re-emerged in 2002 with Townies, a dark comedy about a small town overrun by misfits. Harold wrote, produced, directed, photographed and edited the entire film. Radloff appeared as a "dumpster-diving" eccentric named Dickie. Harold was one of the first artists signed to the Turner Broadcasting online comedy site SuperDeluxe. com. With Radloff, Harold produced segments of The Wayne and Toby Show and Super Deluxe Revue. SuperDeluxe was recently folded into Turner's AdultSwim. com. Wayne and Toby are currently creating all-new comedy videos for Lurid. com. In 2009, Harold released "Night Music: The Art of P. Craig Russell", a documentary about acclaimed comics illustrator P. Craig Russell. According to his official website, he is currently working on a follow-up feature about the process of graphic storytelling.
