Local director Craig Brewer is among the nine named a “New Radical” in the December/January issue of Radar. The feature is the first in what is planned to be an annual salute to “exciting rogues, renegades, and rule-breakers of the year.”
Winners will be feted at a ceremony in New York on Tuesday and will receive a golden replica of Marcel Duchamp’s urinal.
Joining Brewer as a “New Radical” are actor/comedian Kathy Griffin, musician Spankrock, transexual actor Candis Cayne, and writer Shalom Auslander.
In his profile, Brewer is tagged as the “hirsute helmer of passionate, sweaty, soulful, booty-shakin’ Southern dramas” who “describes himself as the cinematic equivalent of a bat — ‘neither bird nor beast.'”
