"Challenging conventions in film: John Cameron Mitchell speaks
Director known for 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'
Issue date: 1/14/08 Section: Arts & Entertainment

There is more than meets the eye when it comes to John Cameron Mitchell. On the surface, the actor-writer-director seems relatively conservative - Texas-born, Catholic and with a military family background. Then consider some of Mitchell's best known works: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a musical about a glam rocker immigrant with a botched sex-change operation, and Shortbus, a film that has been touted for its explicit depictions of sex. Clearly, Mitchell is not one for following formulas."
