George Roy: Master Documentarian

A 3-time Peabody Award Winner, George Roy set the standard for documentary filmmaking during the Golden era of HBO Sports. Roy and his partner Steve Stern emerged from an illustrious production roster at MLB Productions to start their own shop, Black Canyon Productions.  In 1991 through a stroke of Yiddish luck (we’ll get to that later) they created what many hailed as the greatest baseball documentary ever made, When It Was A Game for HBO and the rest was history…

Roy’s catalog is extensive and we get into several of his films including the Curse of the Bambino where he made an executive decision that surprised the powers that be at HBO Sports.   You won’t ever guess which member of the 1992 Dream Team was involved in a moment on-set that George will never forget.  And we get into his latest work with the WWE Legends.  It's another great conversation on Beyond the Lens presented by Diesel Films.
