Mr. Wiseau wrote and directed this movie. And acted the lead part and used a close up of his own face as the poster. As producer, he raised all the money himself. He imagined it to be a passionate Tennessee Williams-esque drama. When audiences started heckling it in Los Angeles, and turned it into a cult classic, Wiseau began to publicize that the movie's amateurishness was intended as irony.
