Autorenporträt
Rick Winston grew up in Yonkers, New York, and became hooked watching old films on TV at a young age. He went to Columbia College and University of California, Berkeley, where there were many opportunities to catch up on films while putting off writing English Literature papers. He co-founded the Savoy Theater in Montpelier, Vermont in 1981, and was co-owner until he and his wife Andrea Serota sold it in 2009. Winston's previous book, "Red Scare in the Green Mountains" (Rootstock, 2018) won the 2019 Richard O. Hathaway Award from the Vermont Historical Society for "Outstanding Contribution to Vermont History." He currently teaches film history throughout Vermont.
