Biography
Romany was born in Cairo, Egypt.[3] He moved to Los Angeles, CA, in 2011 when he left the political situation in Egypt.[1] Between 2013 and 2018 he won 9 EMMY ® Awards for his work on Esperanza (2013), Visioneer (2015), Return to Esperanza (2016),[5] A New Leash on Life: The K9s for Warriors Story (2018), and Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On (2018).[2][6][7][8] Romany has directed multiple productions in different genres, including: The Contender[9], a boxing competition series for MGM on EPIX;[10] Unprotected Sets;[11][12] Operation Toussaint,[13] which follows a former U.S. special agent who goes undercover to rescue victims of sex trafficking;[14] and several commercials.[15]
While working on The Contender, Romany, colorist Dean Perme, and Jason Hafer created a custom 3D LUT to give the show a “period feel that felt like film,” which supported the cinematic approach that Romany took with his directing.[10]
In March 2019, it was announced that Romany would serve as executive producer and host of the new Discovery Channel series Mummies Unwrapped.[16] The series featured Romany traveling to ancient Egyptian tombs, Mayan mass graves, and hidden crypts to uncover the legends, myths, curses and cover-ups of the ancient past.[17] He used cutting-edge technologies to introduce new theories about how ancient civilizations lived and died, and to uncover the origin of each mummy.[16]
