Jeff Krulik

Jeff Krulik is an underground documentary filmmaker who specializes in profiling unusual and off-beat characters.

Krulik is primarily known for his bootlegged underground classic, co-directed with John Heyn, Heavy Metal Parking Lot, a documentary about Judas Priest fans hanging out in a stadium parking lot before a concert. But, he’s also directed several, mostly short, documentaries by himself, including “sequels” such as Neil Diamond Parking Lot and Harry Potter Parking Lot. Krulik also collects lots of pop culture video detritus that he posts on his YouTube channel.

Partial filmography:
Hitler’s Hat (2003)
Obsessed With Jews (2000)
Ernest Borgnine on the Bus (1997)
King of Porn (1996)
Mr. Blassie Goes to Washington (1995)
Heavy Metal Parking Lot (1986) (co-directed with Jon Heyn.)
