Ramy Romany is an Egyptologist, documentarian, TV host and Directors Guild of America (DGA) director, active since 2011. He has filmed, produced, directed, and been featured in more than a hundred documentaries, and has worked with networks such as The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, and National Geographic.[1][2][3][4]

Biography

[edit]

Romany was born in Cairo, Egypt.[3] He moved to Los Angeles in 2011 due to 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 [who?] 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]
