Always a risk-taker, George Spyros shot his first 16mm short Par King entirely without sound and then over-dubbed by different actors none of whom were in the same room at the same time.

At age twenty-one, George Spyros’s first professional job came editing master documentarian Emile de Antonio’s Mr. Hoover and I about J. Edgar Hoover’s plans to inter political dissidents in concentration camps. When de Antonio died on the eve of the 1990 Sundance Film Festival, Spyros was drafted to represent the film.
