He has produced or directed more than 225 films. This month, the American Museum of the Moving Image is showing a series of films by directors who worked under Corman. Some of those who work will be featured in the New York show include Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Joe Dante. The series is called "Corman's Children."
