Scott Crary (also known as S.A. Crary) is an American film director, producer and writer, best known for having directed, produced, filmed and edited the film Kill Your Idols, a documentary examining three decades of New York art punk bands.
[commenting on the No Wave bands in "Kill Your Idols"] "There's the divine madness in them. When Alan Vega sneered, you might have actually found yourself bloodied shortly thereafter. You sure as hell wouldn't reach for your iPhone to Instagram and tag his antics. You'd feel a little intruded upon, which is precisely how all the best art should make you feel."
