Wade Radford is a truly independent artist – from filmmaking, acting, zine making and poetry, his work traverses many styles.
Known mainly for his contributions to underground guerrilla LGBT films of the 2010’s, he is widely noted for his appearance as Kayden ‘Quinn’ Daydream in the 2014 film ‘TWINK’.
Other credits from the time include his portrayal of Darrell in the trash ‘Boys Behind Bars’ trilogy, ‘Sex Lies & Depravity’, ‘Caught in a Landslide’ and more.
He is a writer and photographer who has published over 100 zines and distributed them globally.
More recently he has created an intentionally ‘old school’ series called ‘Wade on 8’, shooting on videotape and making a broad collection of heritage short films.
He was the winner of ‘best paranormal film’ for his documentary ‘The Busby & Me‘ at the Fortean Times Film Festival 2025. He has created a zine that documented the life of Manson Family member ‘Paul Watkins’, and his video and written projects have appeared in galleries and museums.
He remains unapologetically DIY in style, and champions independent arts within his own work, and the work he does in communities.
