Seth Landau

Seth Landau is an actor/writer/director and former newspaper reporter for The Arizona Republic and New Times. Landau is known for two independent films, "Take Out" and "A.P.U.: Art, Pot and Underwear". The latter was termed by Film Threat as "a look at Hollywood you're not likely to find anywhere else". The former, "Take Out", was the target of a locally publicized dispute regarding Michael Sergio's film of the same name. The movies have distinctly different plots - Landau's being about a reporter who battles chain restaurants, and Sergio's being about a woman being stalked in a parking garage. Landau was "caught off guard" by the lawsuit filed against him, while Sergio felt that Landau was merely trying to gain free publicity off his Slamdance screening months earlier.
