An early interest in movies led George to persue a degree in Production at Wright State Unversity in Dayton, Ohio. Along the way, he began working for The Library of Congress, where he is now the leader of the Nitrate Film Vaults, also in Dayton, Ohio. While in college, George became friends with J.Todd Anderson, the Coen Brothers storyboard artist and now director in his own right. Mr. Anderson said that the first film he put Mr. Willeman in, he would give him a flat top haircut, which he did. Mr. Willeman and Mr. Anderson have also collaborated on several screenplays, none which have, as yet, come to fruition.
