Chuck Wein was an American promoter and filmmaker. He was closely associated with Pop artist Andy Warhol's Factory and the New York underground film scene of the 1960s. A Harvard graduate and friend of socialite Edie Sedgwick from Cambridge, Wein became an instrumental collaborator in several Warhol films in 1965, including Poor Little Rich Girl, Beauty No. 2, and My Hustler. He also co-wrote and co-directed the cult film Ciao! Manhattan in 1967, a semi-autobiographical film centered on Sedgwick's life and decline. He later directed the Jimi Hendrix concert film Rainbow Bridge (1971). Wikipedia ↗
