The Making of Monsters is a 1991 Canadian short film, directed by John Greyson.[1] Made while Greyson was a student at the Canadian Film Centre,[1] the film's premise is that playwright and poet Bertolt Brecht is alive and living in Toronto, and actively interfering with the production of "Monsters", a heavily sanitized movie of the week about the 1985 death of Kenneth Zeller in a gaybashing attack.[1]
The film premiered at the 1991 Berlin International Film Festival,[2] and was later screened at the 1991 Toronto International Film Festival[3] and other selected LGBT film festivals, including Vancouver's Out on Screen,[4] Montreal's Image+Nation[5] and Edmonton's The Voice and the Vision.[6]
