November 9, 2011 ~ Vito Brancato's career as a filmmaker has unusual roots. For nine years he promoted pro wrestling, building his successful Midwest independent promotion from the ground up. He went on to produce Chicago Championship Wrestling for Sports Channel (now Fox Sports), making his indie wrestling organi- zation the first to score a television deal. Vito also performed in the ring as "The Razor" and eventually decided to parlay his colorful wrestling persona into comedy TV and eventually into the world of indie film. He created the half-hour comedy program The Razor Show and quickly garnered a loyal cult following among Chicago viewers. The Razor Show led to several indie shorts and features.
