Biography
Romany was born in Cairo, Egypt. He moved to Los Angeles, CA, in 2011 when he left the political situation in Egypt. Between 2013 and 2018 he won 9 EMMY Awards for his work on Esperanza (2013), Visioneer (2015), Return to Esperanza (2016), A New Leash on Life: The K9s for Warriors Story (2018), and Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On (2018). Romany has directed multiple productions in different genres, including: The Contender, a boxing competition series for MGM on EPIX; Unprotected Sets; Operation Toussaint, which follows a former U.S. special agent who goes undercover to rescue victims of sex trafficking; and several commercials.

While working on The Contender, Romany, colorist Dean Perme, and Jason Hafer 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.

In March 2019, it was announced that Romany would serve as executive producer and host of the new Discovery Channel series Mummies Unwrapped. 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. He used cutting-edge technologies to introduce new theories about how ancient civilizations lived and died, and to uncover the origin of each mummy.
