We’ve been running into Chicago based film maker Rusty Nails a fair bit lately. See, though he’s based in the Windy City he’s been spending a great deal of time here in Toronto, hard at work documenting the life and career of transplanted film maker George A. Romero for his comprehensive new film Dead On: The Life And Cinema Of George A. Romero. Nails has been working on this literally for years and has amassed hundreds of hours of interview footage, footage which impressed not only with the subjects he got access to - literally everyone with any significant connection to the zombie auteur is in here - but with the comfortable, easy nature of the interviews themselves when Nails gave a sneak peek at the film before a recent live appearance by Romero himself. The project is finally nearing completion - though Nails is still looking to get in touch with people who have old articles, photos and other Romero memorabilia - and we’ve got the first trailer for you. You’ll find it embedded in the Twitch Player below the break.

Todd. You remember Brennan my friend you met at the film festival. Him and Rusty are good friends and he was trying to hook me up with him but he was just going crazy over the hectic schedule that Romero had so it never happened.

Can’t wait to see it !
I just watched another great “Night of the Living Dead” documentary. This documentary is “Fan of the Dead”, a doc revealing all the filming locations of the Romero zombie trilogy. A must see for zombie fans ! Here is the official website : http://www.fanofthedead.com
