Welcome to DennisWoodruff's about story
Eccentrically outlandish or intoxicatingly ambitious? Many would agree with both statements after
catching a glimpse into the unconventional world of the Artist and indie Hollywood B-movie director,
Dennis Woodruff. If you live in LA, you've most likely seen his infamous self-promoting "billboard" Art Cars and Vans driving around the Sunset Strip and Hollywood.
The grandson of S. H. Woodruff, who built the original Hollywood Land sign, Dennis Woodruff's name
is synonymous with Hollywood. And rightly so, Dennis has written, directed, and acted in over 20 of
his own films. Taking indie film-making to a whole new level, Woodruff plays all the roles of
film-making; from acting to editing, to producing and marketing. One of his well-received films,
"Obession: Letters to David Lynch," features him literally stalking Lynch on an obsessive quest to
act in all of his movies. Through this journey, Dennis' hard work and perseverance has payed off,
landing him several appearances in mainstream movies and television as well as catching the
attention of cult icon, Lloyd Kauffman, who released a collection of Dennis' films through Troma
Entertainment (of Toxic Avenger fame).
A truly iconic "Hollyweird" figure and persona, Woodruff propagated a cult-following reaching far past
the restraints of Hollywood, selling more than 10,000 of his movies worldwide. His unique take on
artwork is viewed as outsider art but addresses fame from an insider's view. His drawings are
collected by the likes of Paris Hilton, Nicolas Cage, Quentin Tarrentino, and Kirk Douglas. Dennis
has become a beloved fixture in the Hollywood Landscape, recently even showing up at a Terry
Richardson exhibit in his notorious Spaceman guise, to the delight of everyone present.
Although it remains unknown what new trick he'll pull off next, one thing is for sure: Dennis Woodruff
has stirred up Hollywood and stands as a unique individual that deserves well-earned support and
success, and will continue shaking the foundations of traditional filmmaking and art for years to come.
