"Dear Viewer,

What you hold in your hands is the first of its kind—a quirky, gonzo peek behind the curtain into the mad mind of schlockmeister extraordinaire Donald Farmer. Known as the Budget Master of Tennessee, Farmer is the undisputed king of SOV Cinema, a DIY legend who’s carved a blood-soaked path through five decades of horror, trash, and straight-to-video gold.

Starting in the 1970s with a series of Super 8 films before transitioning to the “profitable” promise of videotape, Farmer found success with hypnotically gory, offbeat features—films that often hid sweet, romantic cores beneath their eye-popping VHS covers. A true original, Donald has been a writer for Fangoria, an actor, and even a reality TV star. Everyone who’s anyone seems to be just one degree removed from Donald!

Donald Farmer’s Wild Ride  is just as weird, charming, and unforgettable as Donald’s films themselves. A greatest-hits reel from past and present, it features tales from those who know him best, and of course, straight from the horse’s mouth himself.

Featuring appearances and interviews with:

David Liebe Hart, Joel Wynkoop, Claude D Miles, Joe Casterline, Brewce Longo, Caroline Kopko, Joe Estevez, Ross Synder, Adam Freeman, Curtis Everitt, Tim Ritter, Roni Jonah, Ana Xaden, Tina Krause, and Jessa Flux. Directed by friend and frequent Farmer collaborator, Kasper Meltedhair. If you love Donald Farmer, You’ll love Donald Farmer’s Wild Ride." - Dogfood Williams
