George T. Nierenberg
George T. Nierenberg is a New York-based documentary filmmaker and creator of GTN Creative. He has worked on films and television documentaries. His 1975 film The Hollow is a documentary about a family in the Adirondacks. His 1979 Emmy award winning film "No Maps on My Taps" explored American tap dance and has been credited as bringing about a revival to the form. Following the success of the film, famous featured tap dancers began the "No Maps on My Taps and Company" tour around the world, performing at over 60 locations. Again documenting the culture around tap dance, Nierenberg made "About Tap", featuring Gregory Hines and stylistic performances and recollections by three of America’s leading male tap dancers: Steve Condos, Jimmy Slyde and Chuck Green.
