Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Allan Moyle is a
film director. His first major film was Times Square. During the editing
of the film he clashed with producer Robert Stigwood who reportedly
wanted dialogue scenes removed and replaced with more musical sequences,
so that the accompanying soundtrack recording could be expanded to a
double-album. Moyle refused to make the cuts so Stigwood fired him and
made the cuts himself. In the eighties he wrote a novel that was never
published but became the basis for his screenplay of his movie Pump Up
the Volume, which he also directed. It was released in 1990. Moyle has
since directed The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag, Empire Records, New
Waterford Girl - for which he won the Best Direction Canadian Comedy
Award in 2001, XChange, and the made-for-TV movies Jailbait and Man in
the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story. His most recent film,
Weirdsville, debuted at and headlined the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival
in January. The film's stars include Taryn Manning.
