John Russo

John A. Russo is an American film producer, director, writer and editor. Born in 1939, he was one of the architects of the immensely popular Night of the Living Dead franchise. In the mid 1960s, Russo and fellow industrial film makers Russell Streiner and George Andrew Romero joined with Karl Hardman and Marilyn Eastman to form Image Ten Productions. Each of them put up their own personal finances, approximating $6,000 a piece into what would become the original 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.
