The Making of Monsters

The Making of Monsters is a 1991 Canadian short film, directed by John Greyson. Made while Greyson was a student at the Canadian Film Centre, 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.

The film premiered at the 1991 Berlin International Film Festival, and was later screened at the 1991 Toronto International Film Festival and other selected LGBT film festivals, including Vancouver's Out on Screen, Montreal's Image+Nation and Edmonton's The Voice and the Vision.
