His first credits were as writer and actor in Richard Elfman's 1980 film Forbidden Zone, portraying the twins Squeezit and René Henderson. The film includes his two sado-masochistic characters living in a garbage can, spit on, raped and tortured in an alternate dimension's kingdom and decapitated by Satan (played by Bright's real-life friend, composer Danny Elfman).[1]
Bright wrote and directed the 1996 exploitation film Freeway and its 1999 direct-to-video sequel.[2][3]
In his last work, Tiptoes, Bright's original 150-minute cut was reduced to 90 minutes by his producers without his consent, leading to him vocally criticizing the producers on stage.[citation needed] Following this 2003 production's negative reception, he has not directed any further films.
