Bert I. Gordon

The master of colossal creatures and B-movie flair, Bert I. Gordon, was born in 1922 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, USA. Flourishing in the realm of science fiction and horror from the 1950s through the 1970s, Gordon is best known for his larger-than-life films like "The Amazing Colossal Man," "Earth vs. the Spider," and "Empire of the Ants," although he didn't earn any major awards at film festivals. A hallmark of Gordon's authorial style is his fascination with size, often featuring giant monsters or humans, achieved through his innovative use of scale models and rear projection. Bert I. Gordon, a man who dared to dream bigger than most, holds a unique place in the annals of cinematic history, his movies consistently charming in their audacious ambition and unapologetic B-movie essence.
