Andrew Leavold owned and managed Trash Video, the largest cult video rental store in Australia, from 1995 to 2010. He is also a published author, researcher, film festival curator (Brisbane International Film Festival, Melbourne Underground Film Festival), musician, TV presenter, occasional digital filmmaker, and above all, unrepentant and voracious fan of eccentric and lowbrow cinema.
Leavold's latest film project is a guerrilla documentary shot in Manila. The Search For Weng Weng, currently in post-production, chronicles Leavold's quest to find the truth behind the midget Filipino James Bond. His research on genre filmmaking in the Philippines formed the basis of Mark Hartley's documentary Machete Maidens Unleashed! (released internationally in 2010), on which Leavold is also Associate Producer.
A PhD student at Brisbane’s Griffith University, Leavold’s thesis is soon to be published as a book entitled “Bamboo Gods And Bionic Boys: A History Of Pulp Filmmaking In The Philippines”.
