 Bio for John Cameron Mitchell on MSN Movies
When his father, a U.S. Army general, moved the family to Berlin, Mitchell's babysitter, a German army wife who was also a prostitute, became the visual model for Mitchell's later creation.

Mitchell's real screen breakthrough came courtesy of Hedwig and the Angry Inch; following its release, he began to receive attention from both critics and industry figures, many of whom wondered how Mitchell would choose to follow up such a unique and cult-inspiring directing debut.

 Hedwig and the Angry Inch
The stunningly androgynous Mitchell spins Hedwig's tale of two halves straining to become one with wit, intelligence and bawdy humor (after his botched op, Hedwig observes 'My first day as a woman and already it's that time of the month').
Mitchell hasn't simply recorded his musical, but inventively places his camera and changes his locations (the play is smartly recalled when Hedwig's Kansas trailer wall drops down to transform into a stage for an Angry Inch performance).
Mitchell and Trask have reinvented the movie musical and couple it with the underlying story of just whom Hedwig is and what she is looking for.

 Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001): John Cameron Mitchell, Michael Pitt, Miriam Shor, Andrea Martin - PopMatters Film ...
John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the screen version of his and Stephen Trask's OBIE Award-winning stage musical of the same name, is a re-telling of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, in which the brother and sister are one and the same person.
The implication is that the over-the-top antics of '70s glam-rock or of Hedwig today aren't all that different from the glam-ish grunge of Scott Wieland (during and after his stint with Stone Temple Pilots), the dark and obsessive mope-rock of Smashing Pumpkins or the testosterone frenzy of Limp Bizkit.
Mitchell and composer/lyricist Stephen Trask have clearly been greatly influenced by the rock triumvirate of Reed, Pop, and Bowie invoked early in the film.
