We have worked diligently to preserve George’s legacy and his art, especially those films rarely experienced by the public such as The Amusement Park and Expostulations. Our newest endeavor is one we are calling “Compose the Legacy,” which is a campaign funding the creation and world premiere of a symphonic score inspired by Romero’s groundbreaking work. An original score will conjure the terror, tension, and brilliance of George’s Expostulations, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, The Amusement Park, Knightriders, and more. New generations will be attuned to George’s horror through the power of music. It’s your turn to keep that history alive. Every note of this score, every shiver in the concert hall, will carry the name of those who stood with us. Donate today and help us compose the legacy.
So, what else are we up to? We’re always hungry to identify and cultivate the next generation of horror artistry through programs such as The Dead, a radio theater-style podcast brought to you by The GARF and Bloody Disgusting; film projects such as Geno Blair Jr.’s short film Stay; and an upcoming screenwriting development program.
We strive to support filmmakers of all ages, and we offer the opportunity for kids (9 to 16 years old) to work with industry professionals to design and film short movies through the Film Camp in a Box program. We also offer the horror genre-specific annual program, Screams in a Box.
We’ve partnered with the University of Pittsburgh University Library Systems to build a Horror Studies Center. Pitt’s University Library Systems also maintains the George A. Romero Archival Collection.
We are actively engaged in fellowships, sponsorships, and scholarships with entities such as the Douglas Education Center (where The George A. Romero Filmmaking Program has thrived since 2016), Horror Studies Archive, Salem Horror Fest Fellowship Program (where nascent filmmakers are paired with seasoned veterans that provide advice and expertise), and StokerCon.
This is just a sample of the creative initiatives that your donations have helped achieve.
Thank you all very much, and stay scared!
