yo! i'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse. haha!
i reckon there are some areas of overlap in both our studies.
Your looking at Romero and he could fall under the catergory of being an auteur - as you said he doesn't consider his films to be sequals to one another. So by looking at how he's an "auteur" you can see if this influences the director(s) of shaun of the dead to not follow the conventions of the zombie genre.
And for me, as your looking at genre, the genre theory is the opposing argument for the auteur theory so i can make a judgement on if genre still has an impact.
