George Romero’s Lost Film ‘The Amusement Park’ To Be released By Yellow Veil

Yellow Veil Pictures have now acquired the worldwide sales rights for The Amusement Park, the formerly lost film from iconic filmmaker George A. Romero. Recently discovered and restored 46 years after its completion by the George A. Romero Foundation and produced by Suzanne Romero, it was restored in 4k by IndieCollect in New York. The Amusement Park “is an alluring snapshot of the filmmaker’s early artistic capacity and style, and would go on to inform his ensuing filmography. The film was originally commissioned by the Lutheran Society to raise awareness about ageism and elder abuse.

Yellow Veil Pictures Co-Founder Justin Timms said “We couldn’t be more
