Roger Corman

Roger William Corman (5. aprila 1926. – 9. maja 2024.), američki nezavisni filmski producent, režiser, scenarist i glumac, poznat je po velikom broju niskobudžetnih B-filmova (pretežno horor i science fiction žanra). Nazivali su ga "kraljem B-filma" i "kraljem drive-ina" (kino na otvorenom). Kao režiser sposoban je napraviti film nevjerojatnom brzinom i s ekstremno malim budžetom. The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) snimio je u rekordna dva dana za samo 30.000 $.^[1]
