Dirty Poole is a feature-length documentary, currently in production, about influential filmmaker Wakefield Poole, whose careers as dancer, choreographer, and director spanned the golden years of Broadway, television, and gay liberation. Poole's story is an incredible tale of reinvention as he survives fame, career setbacks, loss, and drug addiction to emerge today, in his 70s, admired by many as an influential artist, yet dismissed by others as a pornographer.

Produced, directed, and written by Jim Tushinski (That Man: Peter Berlin), Dirty Poole is an entertaining, eye-opening look at the amazing man who helped shape an era of sexual liberation and independent filmmaking in the 1970s.
