A commercial and film director with over 100 commercials and more than 5 feature films under his belt, Romero is known for his cutting edge approach and creative edge that he has applied to top global brands like Verizon Wireless, Sony Electronics and The Lending Tree to name a few. Romero often acts as his own Director of Photography and operates the camera whenever possible.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, George Cameron Romero was born the son of legendary director, George A. Romero ("Night of the Living Dead," "The Dark Half") and after attending Thiel College in Pennsylvania, Romero spent several years moving around the country and working crew jobs on location-based films of all sizes, until he took a break to join the dotcom boom where he honed his marketing acumen to the point of opening and running his own boutique branding agency. After developing a reputation of being the bad boys of branding, Romero's agency caught the attention of a direct marketing company, Communifax, whose owners bought Romero's agency and creative staff and introduced their style to Fortune 500 clients.
Shortly after, Romero was tasked with branching the organization into the world of production and his vision for a brick and mortar motion picture studio in Western Pennsylvania was realized when the doors to Batpack Studios opened in 2004.
During his time at the head of Batpack Studios, Cameron helmed two feature films, developed over 50 creative online marketing strategies and campaigns for Fortune 500 companies, directed over 100 commercials for companies like Verizon, Verizon Wireless, The Lending Tree, Cracker Barrel, and Sony Electronics, to name a few, while he worked to give independent, young filmmakers a place to call home.
"Batpack was more than just a post house in the beginning. We yelled to anyone who would listen that we were a place where young filmmakers could work, learn and be themselves doing it," Romero said about his former home.
