Brown (1954-1995) was an artist and filmmaker who assisted Wojnarowicz with various film projects and installations, including the short film Where Evil Dwells. Bressler and Wojnarowicz met when they were both working at the seminal downtown nightclub, Danceteria, in 1980. According to Steve Doughton, the two had a brief love affair. Brown would go on to edit Wild Style, a film about New York City's graffiti artists. At the time of Wojnarowicz's death, Brown was working with him on a film version of ITSOFOMO.
