Bio
Germaine McCormack-Kós’ love for the arts has propelled her to spend most of her life creating in film, music, art, and children’s opera around the world.
Her film career started way back when London was still swinging, working in script development for Hollywood producer Sam Spiegel at Horizon Pictures, and collaborating with Laslo Benedek (“The Wild One”) on film projects. She then worked for producer Peter Watkins (“The War Game”), and directors Robert Young (“Jane Eyre”), and Ken Annakin (“Battle of the Bulge”). She was the Executive Producer of “Black Water” for Prodigy Movies, and also made short documentaries, including “Why This War.”
She founded Dublin Children’s Opera, the first children’s opera company in Dublin, and produced two original operas. Renowned composer George Fenton (“Gandhi,” “Dangerous Liaisons”) composed one of these operas and is the composer for her documentary. In the mid 90’s, she was on the team that launched Women In Film France in Cannes.
When not working on film or opera projects, she is painting, mostly in oils. She has represented Ireland at International Art Exhibitions, and won several awards with steel sculptures.
Germaine has co-produced documentaries and has directed and produced WALK ON THE WILD SIDE, a feature documentary that is now available on Amazon Prime – US/UK/France.
A world traveler, she currently lives in France.
