David Brothers

Brothers began producing, writing, and acting in radio dramas, with notable projects including The Church of Jayne Mansfield and The New Atomic Age. He wrote, illustrated, and published a variety of works, including comic books, pamphlets, religious tracts, trading cards, and Tijuana bibles.^[4]

By day, Brothers worked as a film industry set designer.^[5] His professional experience constructing sets informs his artwork, where he builds and photographs sets in his studio, creating images that blur the boundary between artifice and reality.^[4][6]

Brothers has created both animated and live-action films, with three of his works featured at the Sundance Film Festival. Brothers co-directed the short film The Backward Swing (1987)^{[citation needed]} and the feature film It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine. (2007) with Crispin Glover.^[7] The latter project is the second film in Glover’s trilogy.^[8] Written by and starring Steven C. Stewart, that examines themes of disability, sexuality, and psychological complexity.^[9] Time Out called it “...as surprising for its visual boldness—it looks like Lovelace-era porn as staged by David Lynch—as it is for its sincerity.”^[10]
