Lloyd Michael Williams (born in 1940) is an American experimental filmmaker from Brooklyn, New York. His first interest in motion was with marionettes. He became involved with photography and by the time he was thirteen was making films. During high school Lloyd was an usher at Cinema 16 in New York City, the only venue exhibiting 16mm experimental movies. Inspired by the poem by Lewis Carroll, and the work he was seeing, Lloyd made "Jabberwock" and won the Silver Medallion at the Cannes Film Festival, 1959.
Lloyd entered New York University majoring in Film, Television & Radio. "They’re Off" was made at the NYU Summer Motion Picture Workshop, which Lloyd directed in 1959. In 1960 Lloyd worked with Mary Ellen Bute on "The Boy with Green Hair." He produced "Ursula" while he was a student and won the Bronze Medallion at Cannes in 1961. "The Creation" is more directed at radio and television commercials than at religion, it points out mankind’s blind belief in both.
