BUT WAIT THERES MORE
powder was a DISNEY film
so powder was his jesus narrative film - and apparently I, a super flamboyant gay child, dragged my mom to take me to see it - and I definitely cried through some of it, and my mom remembers me insisting we go see it
ok so how did he get convicted you might ask?
so he made this late 80s movie called Clownhouse and what's scary is not the plot but the fact that this creepy ugly hispanic dude was perving on the white boys he hired to play three boys who had been left alone by their parents and the opening scene is them running around in their underwear and it feels um voyeuristic
and eventually they end up in an amusement park where the killer clown is but you get the sense the director was just being creepy the whole time towards the boy actors - who are the stars of the film - and made the film just to perv on them - so the horror is the boys' fear is genuine cuz there was this gross guy trying to fuck them the whole film
AND apparently after the film the director maintained a relationship with the youngest actor in the film - who never acted again, and made videos of them having sex, and the videos were probably the only reason he got convicted
