Mike Vraney, Founder of SWV, dead at 56 Mike Vraney, founder of Something Weird Video and master collector and comic book expert died last night, Jan.2, 2014. Some of the saddest news to come out of the video industry in some time, and I am afraid that Lisa, Mike’s wife, had confirmed his death was last night. Mike died at home, after a long battle with lung cancer. He dies with Lisa by his side and he was suffering. Mike’ suffering is over, but his legacy will live on forever, through the fans and through his collections. He also go to realize his dream, which was to make the story of sexploitation and work with his mentor, the late Dave Friedman. I am honored to have gotten to actually sit with Mike and Lisa, this past Ocotober, as we watched “That’s Sexploitation” and he was so proud of that, so happy and watching it with Mike and Lisa, was a once in a lifetime experience. Although Mike was very sick, during all of this, he smiled and was truly happy. Let’s get That’s Sexploitation into Distribution!!! Attachments:
