A pioneering actor in the independent film world, Craig Chester scored an IFP Spirit Award nomination for his debut role in the landmark queer drama Swoon, and later appeared in a string of Sundance favorites including Grief, I Shot Andy Warhol, Frisk, Kiss Me Guido and The Misadventures of Margaret.

Chester's forays into writing have proved fruitful as well. St. Martin's Press published his memoir, Why The Long Face? The Adventures of a Truly Independent Actor in 2003. His directorial debut, Adam & Steve, was released theatrically in April 2006 and his second screenplay, Save Me, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January. He recently completed writing on the first season of Rosie O'Donnell's new series The Big Gay Sketch Show, debuting April 24th, 2007 on Logo.
