FILM MAKERS

I’m gonna get my gun and…bury me an angel!

This odd, feminist cult classic was Written and directed by Barbara Peteers, one of the few female filmmakers who specialized in entertainingly trashy low budget drive-in exploitation fare in the 70s and early 80s, and the first woman to direct a biker film. Peters often worked for Roger Corman’s B-flick studio New World Pictures, and was script supervisor on Angels Die Hard (1970). She made her feature debut as co-writer and co-director of the soft-core lesbian outing “The Dark Side of Tomorrow.” Barbara followed this movie with the gritty distaff biker item “Bury Me an Angel.”
