Bruce LaBruce

Bruce LaBruce (born 3 January 1964) is a Canadian writer, film-maker, photographer and underground gay porn star based in Toronto.

LaBruce was born Bryan Bruce in Southampton, Ontario and wrote for the Robin Wood (his teacher) curated Cineaction magazine. He first gained public attention with the publication of the queer punk zine "J.D.s", which he co-edited with G.B. Jones. He currently writes and photographs for a variety of publications including Vice, Nerve.com and "BlackBook" magazine, and has made a number of controversial films which merged the artistic techniques of independent film with gay pornography.

He has also previously been a columnist for the Canadian music magazine "Exclaim!" and Toronto's "eye weekly", and he was a contributing editor and photographer for many years at New York's "index" magazine. He has also been published in Toronto Life and the National Post as well as the UK Guardian. His latest movie, "Otto, or, Up With Dead People" debuted at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
