More on Ron Underwood
Description from Wikipedia:
Ron Underwood is an American film director.
Underwood was born in Glendale, California but spent some of his teenage years living as an exchange student in Sri Lanka. After graduating from high school he briefly attended medical school, but dropped out after finding the courses too dull. After this he decided to follow a career in the film industry; film having been a passion of his since childhood. He enrolled at University of Southern California's prestigious film school, and upon graduation began working as a staff director and cameraman for Barr films, a company specializing in the production of educational films.
One of the first motion pictures Underwood worked on was Futureworld (1976) as a Production Assistant. The film starred Blythe Danner and Peter Fonda, actors he would later direct himself in 2004. During the filming of Futureworld, one of his tasks was to babysit a young Gwyneth Paltrow. Another early job was acting as an Assistant Director to first-time director David Schmoeller on Tourist Trap, a low-budget horror film. However, after this he continued to produce educational films for the next seven years. In 1986 Underwood established himself as a director when he won a Peabody Award for his animated special The Mouse and the Motorcycle, which was followed two years later by the sequel Runaway Ralph, for which he received a Daytime Emmy nomination.
Following his critically acclaimed venture into television, Underwood decided to have a go at directing feature films. His first effort was Tremors starring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward and Reba McEntire in her acting debut. Written by his friends Brent Maddock & S. S. Wilson, it was released by Universal Studios in 1990. The film was well received by the critics and later established itself as a cult classic.
