Francis Delia
Francis Delia (c. 1948) is an American filmmaker, photographer, writer and musician, at times credited as Francis X. Wolfe or F.X. Pope
As Frank Delia, he was the guitarist of The Bruthers, a 1960s New York garage rock band whose four members were all brothers.
Delia worked as a photographer in the 1970s, working for a time with Hustler magazine. His first experiences as a cinematographer and director were in the pornographic film genre.
After relocating to Los Angeles with Hustler in 1978, he became co-founder and president of Wolfe Co., a film production company. He directed music videos in the 1980s, such as the videos for Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio", "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell as well as several videos for The Ramones, including the video for "Psycho Therapy", which made Rolling Stone's 1993 list of "The Top 100 Videos".
He also directed episodes of several television series in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as the feature films Freeway, Trouble Bound and Time of Her Time.
Delia was one of nine brothers and grew-up in Pearl River, New York. In 1960, Delia and his three of brothers — Mike, Al and Joe — formed the garage band The Bruthers and toured colleges for several years. The band was signed to RCA Records and released the single Bad Way to Go/Bad Love in 1966.
Delia told The Morning Call in 1966 that their father, Alfred W. Delia, was always supportive of his sons' creative endeavors. He also co-managed the band with famed music promoter and talent manager Sid Bernstein. The band broke up in 1967 after they were dropped by RCA.
Delia attended the Cooper Union School of Art and started work as a photographer in 1975, working for ad agencies and publications such as National Lampoon and High Times. His first experience with a film camera was after meeting director Abel Ferrara, who frequently collaborated with Delia's brother, film composer Joe Delia. Delia served as Ferrara's cinematographer for his 1976 pornographic film, 9 Lives of a Wet Pussy, under the pseudonym Francis X. Wolfe.
