We were very saddened to hear of the passing of Suzanne Desrocher-Romero on June 24. She leaves behind an incredible legacy through her work on The George A. Romero Foundation, preserving the work of her late husband and uplifting the horror genre for many years to come.

In her final GARF message, she wrote, “Humans have been telling scary stories since the beginning of time, and that makes horror a worthy field of study. What frightens one culture may differ from another, and that diversity is part of what makes this genre so fascinating. Keep musing, writing, drawing, painting, and shooting. Whatever the medium, tell your stories.” 🖤

💡 July Spotlight: SIXTH OF JUNE, a documentary short directed by Henry Roosevelt

SIXTH OF JUNE is an experimental, emotional exploration of D-Day commemorations in Sainte-Mère-Église, France. With few veterans left, who will preserve their legacy? What will we lose when all of these storytellers are gone? Have we learned anything? As a nation? As humans?

SIXTH OF JUNE screened at the Three Rivers Film Festival in 2019 and was also a Tribeca Official Selection in 2020.
