Our History

Established in July 2017 and headquartered in Massachusetts, the Midnite Romero Society is a dynamic multimedia organization dedicated to the vibrant world of cinema. Beginning as a group of friends who wanted to celebrate the life and work of George A. Romero, M.R.S. slowly grew into a collective of passionate film lovers focused on fostering community engagement and creative expression. We have since evolved into a prominent voice in our local film societies, hosting a range of unique events and producing captivating content that resonates with film enthusiasts of all backgrounds.
