Matthew Bright (born June 8, 1952) is a former film director, writer and actor.
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]
In his last work, Tiptoes, Bright's original 150-minute cut was reduced to 90 minutes by his producers without his consent, leading to him vocally criticizing the producers on stage.[citation needed] Following this 2003 production's negative reception, he has not directed any further films.
