Gustavo Romero, associate professor of music, is the subject of a documentary, Gustavo Romero: Portrait in Piano, that is showing at film festivals across the country this year and is available on DVD. This documentary, made by Snapshots Music & Arts Foundation, was shot from 2010 to 2011 in San Diego and New York City.
The film covers Romero’s life story, from his days as a child prodigy and Juilliard student to his current performances of the works of great composers all over the world.
“I couldn’t believe they wanted to make a documentary on my story, but then of course I was thankful and honored that someone finds it so interesting to put it in a permanent state,” Romero says.
