His first credits were as writer and actor in Richard Elfman's 1980 film Forbidden Zone, portraying the twins Squeezit and René Henderson. The film includes his two sado-masochistic characters living in a garbage can, spit on, raped and tortured in an alternate dimension's kingdom and decapitated by Satan (played by Bright's real-life friend, composer Danny Elfman).[1]
Bright wrote and directed the 1996 exploitation film Freeway and its 1999 direct-to-video sequel, Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby with Natasha Lyonne in the lead.[2][3]
Bright collaborated with Richard Elfman again, twice in the 1990s, writing the screenplays for Elfman's 1994 Charles Band-produced film Shrunken Heads, and his 1998 dark-comedy horror film Modern Vampires.[4]
Bright's next film, Tiptoes, debuted in a 150-minute director's cut at Harry Knowles' Butt-Numb-A-Thon film festival.[5][6] At the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, where the 90-minute version screened, Bright criticized the film and lambasted the producers for re-editing his film, leading them to drag him off stage.[7] Subsequently, Bright would later say the film's failure hurt his career.[7] The film went on to receive negative reviews, with some calling it one of the worst movies ever made.[7][6]
