This is Robert Kurtzman, a Special Effects Artist and Filmmaker with over 3 decades of experience and counting. You may not know it, but I will bet every single one of you that you’ve seen his work before. Remember that ear gag in Reservoir Dogs? Or the buffalo in Dances with Wolves (bet you didn’t know those things weren’t real)? And let’s not leave out all of the creepy monsters from Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness.
Oh, and if you’ve already seen Kevin Smith’s latest film Tusk, then be sure to thank him for all of the nightmares you’ve been having since the first reveal of that grotesque walrus suit…Yup, that’s a Kurtzman.
Additionally, you might even say he’s partially responsible for giving Tarantino his first big break…wanna know how? Well, it just so happens that he was awesome enough to invite me out to his studio, Creature Corps, and sit down to chat with me about his career. Check it out, and when you’re finished watching, you can see more of his creations at he Creature Corps Website, where he continues to work along side his amazingly talented crew.
