Mark Kostabi

"I saw a pay phone hanging from its wire and picked it up, I realized there was a conversation going on and found it was more interesting than any sitcom or television program. This was right when reality tv was starting to take off. I knew how easy it was to broadcast on public access since my brother was doing it. I Started airing my business calls for television. It upset many people but it was all legal, I lost a lot of friends. I then started filming my working process in the studio, retransmitting business meetings and such."
