Vito Brancato’s career as a filmmaker has unusual
roots. For nine years he promoted pro wrestling,
building his successful Midwest independent pro-
motion from the ground up. He went on to produce
Chicago Championship Wrestling for SportsChannel
(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.
