略歴

Derrick Beckles is a Canadian writer, director, actor, and comedian. He is the creator and host of the Adult Swim television show Hot Package, creator of the "TV Carnage" compilations, and helped found Vice TV. He is from Scarborough, Ontario. Beckles spent the majority of his teenage years in Toronto punk bands including Black Jello, who were well known for being banned from every possible live venue in Toronto. He began experimenting with film making with two high school friends, which included the filming of him visiting white supremacists in their home. These early filming endeavors led to him studying film at Concordia University. Soon after, Beckles began working with and shaping what was then a ten-page weekly called The Voice of Montreal, which grew into VICE Magazine. Beckles became a familiar face on Canadian TV while occasionally doing stand-up in Toronto and New York. He produced and directed a hit festival documentary called Strip Club DJs and was a reporter on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A place where fire hydrants swear at children. Well stop imagining because that WHOLE world is in the palm of your hand. Introducing the 5th installment in a series of delicious TV CARNAGE MEALS.

This TV Carnage DVD is dedicated to the throngs of exceptional men and women who care about and enforce the rules of CASUAL FRIDAYS.

Director
"Strip Club Djs is the kind of diamond in the rough that any documentary fan loves to uncover. And it's not the film you expect it to be. Director Derrick Beckles' unflinching look at Djs in the seedy world of strip clubs is, in turn funny, disturbing and brilliant." -Hot Docs

The bar is raised again with TV Carnage 2G. If you were to think in the terms of fashion, this tape rivals the Acid Wash Jump Suit phenomenon in its ability to shock and amaze.
