Do we have any other fans of foreign/arthouse/midnight movies? The early films of John Waters sent me down this road, and Taskashi Miike's "Visitor Q" continues to be an inspiration in my writing.

I love John Waters
Then you and I could definitely be friends.
And I have a script that is probably right up your alley
Yes. I saw VISITOR Q at a film festival where I was a jury member, and loved it. Full of "you can't do that in a movie!" moments. It was my #2 film, and in the jury room a fairly famous actress almost killed me (literally) because the film seriously disgusted her.
Films like that are made independently - the writer-director finds the funding (or makes it out of pocket) and just makes the film. The script isn't sold, the film is made.
If you have a script like that, be prepared to make it yourself.
Sure, Lynch (but only early works), von Trier, Gerald Kargl, even Haneke to some point...
John Waters is great - I also love Delicatessen, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, a French dark comedy.
