Join us for a special screening of Queens of the Dead, directed and cowritten by Tina Romero (daughter of horror-legend George A. Romero), followed by a live Q&A where Tina will discuss her creative vision and take your questions, and awarding her BAFF's Filmmaker of The Year Award. After the discussion, she will be signing posters for attendees. Buried Alive is honoring Tina Romero as its 2025 Filmmaker of the Year for her groundbreaking contributions to genre cinema and her unwavering commitment to community empowerment. As the daughter of horror legend George A. Romero, Tina has carved her own path with her debut feature, Queens of the Dead, a vibrant and satirical zombie film that centers on a queer, Brooklyn-based found family. Beyond her filmmaking, Tina serves as Vice President of the George A. Romero Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving her father’s legacy while supporting the next generation of horror filmmakers. Through her work, Tina continues to build a legacy of her own, honoring her father’s influence while championing inclusivity and innovation in the film industry. She embodies everything a Filmmaker of the Year should represent: no matter where she is in her career, she constantly pushes forward, breaks down barriers, and uplifts others in a challenging world. Her spirit, passion, and dedication are exactly why she is Buried Alive Film Festival’s 2025 Filmmaker of the Year. Queens of The Dead: When a zombie apocalypse breaks out in Brooklyn on the night of a giant warehouse party, an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, & frenemies must put aside their drama and use their unique skills to fight against the brain-thirsty, scrolling undead. This will be a night to remember. Tina will also be joining our free Screenwriters Panel on Saturday, but space is very limited.
