Early and personal life


Murro was born and raised in Jerusalem, Israel,[1][2] to a family of Jewish background.[3]

In the early 1990s, after completing his studies in design and architecture at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, Murro left Israel for New York.[1] Although he never received a formal education in film, Murro decided his dream was to become a filmmaker.[1] "As a boy I worked for Lia van Leer at the Jerusalem Cinematheque. I got my film education there, watching films. I worked as an usher, I replaced reels, I cleaned the theater, whatever needed doing, and I got to see two movies a day. I did this for two years, without pay, just so I could see movies."[1]

He resides in Los Angeles with his wife and children.[1]


Career


After studying architecture and establishing himself over the years as an advertising director, he was nominated six times for the DGA Awards, winning the award in 2005.[4] Along with Shawn Lacy Tessaro, he founded the production company Biscuit Films, which has produced many successful advertising campaigns.[5] In 2004, he was originally set to direct The Ring Two but left the film due to "creative differences".[6] In 2012, he directed advertising campaigns for well-known brands such as Adidas, Nike, eBay, Volkswagen, Land Rover, Toshiba, Stella Artois and many others.[5] In 2008, Murro made his directorial debut with Smart People, a comedy presented at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.[7] In 2011, he was chosen to direct A Good Day to Die Hard but left production in August 2011, to direct the 300 sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire. John Moore was subsequently drafted in to replace him.[8][9]
