Tuxedo Warriors
Tuxedo Warriors picks up where The Tuxedo Warrior left off and takes readers straight into the thrilling heart of Cliff Twemlow's most prolific and legendary years. Set against the backdrop of the so-called Golden Age of Video Cinematography, this compelling book reveals the extraordinary story behind the films, the friendships, and the fearless creativity that defined an era.
Told by Brian Sterling-Vete, the only person able to recount the complete, unfiltered story, Tuxedo Warriors is both the definitive biography of Cliff Twemlow and a gripping autobiographical account of Brian's own life during this remarkable period. Together, the two friends crossed continents and boundaries as true guerrilla moviemakers-filming in Iceland and the Arctic Circle, the Mediterranean, North Africa, a war zone, aboard tramp steamers, and on epic road trips across the world. These adventures, many revealed here for the first time, bring the spirit of independent cinema vividly to life.
The book also includes an exclusive media gallery featuring rare personal and professional photographs, script covers, posters, publicity material, and press clippings, offering an intimate look behind the camera and beyond the headlines.
With Cliff Twemlow's work now enjoying a powerful resurgence-fuelled by Severin Films' re-release of his entire film catalogue and the acclaimed, multi-award-winning documentary Mancunian Man-Tuxedo Warriors arrives at the perfect moment. It is the only book that tells the full story of every Cliff Twemlow film, alongside the true behind-the-scenes narrative of his life from 1977 until his untimely death in 1993.
For film lovers, historians, and anyone fascinated by the raw, inventive spirit of independent cinema, Tuxedo Warriors is an essential, exhilarating read.
