George A. Romero

George Andrew Romero was born in the Bronx in 1940, to a father born in Spain and raised in Cuba and a Lithuanian mother. As a teenager he shot films on eight-millimetre, studied in Pittsburgh, at Carnegie Mellon University, and founded there in 1960 a company that produced commercials and sequences for a children's programme. He directed some fifteen feature films in forty years and returned five times to the subject that made him known. He died in Toronto in 2017.
