Episode 43: John Russo
from The Graphic Histories Podcast · host André Myette
After a brief hiatus André returns with Season 4 of the show and boy did we come back with a bang! With twenty books published internationally and nineteen feature movies in worldwide distribution, John Russo has been called a "living legend." He began by co-authoring the screenplay for Night of the Living Dead, which has become recognized as a "horror classic." His three books on the art and craft of movie making have become bibles of independent production, and one of them, Scare Tactics, won a national award for Superior Nonfiction. Quentin Tarantino and many other noted filmmakers have stated that Russo's books helped them launch their careers.André and John talk about how a lack of faith in humanities ability to work together lead to the idea of Night of the Living Dead, his work on it's restoration, the odd way he first met George Romero and his passion for writing, directing and editing.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
