T. Arthur Cottam
Award-winning director/producer T. Arthur Cottam is a graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. His critically-acclaimed first feature film, CARBUNCLE, was nominated for Best Feature Film at the Milan Film Festival and hailed as “wonderfully eccentric” by Films In Re¬view. His follow-up film, POLLYWOGS, was nominated for Best Narrative Feature at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
His short film phenomenon PORNOGRAPHIC APATHETIC played at film festivals and art museums around the world from 2003 until 2019. The Los Angeles Times said, “The piece makes you laugh while illustrating one of the paradoxes of smut: At its core, it’s rather idiotic and boring.” The film became the most viewed film on Atom.com, which was later acquired by Comedy Central.
His controversial 2006 film FILTHY FOOD received the award for Best Experimental Short film at CineKink NYC, screened at numerous film festivals and was licensed for French television by Canal+. Filthy Food was also banned for 12 years in Italy and Korea, and was censored at the former AFI Dallas Film Festival.
His feature film ONE HOUR OUTCALL was released in September 2020 by Gravitas Ventures and won Film Threat’s Award This! Award for Best Indie Drama. He is currently in post-production on two additional feature films: OBJECTS and NO APPARENT MOTIVE.
