Howard S. Berger is a filmmaker, co-winner of the "Best Screenplay" award for Love and Support (Dances With Films Festival, 2001), and winner of a Fantafestival (Italy, 1996) film award for his film Original Sins.
In October 2007, he and long-time friend and collaborator Kevin Marr re-dubbed themselves "The Flying Maciste Brothers" and started the cinema-related website "Destructible Man", which deals exclusively with the literal and figurative uses of the special effect of the dummy-death in film.
