Alan Greenberg Biography

Alan Greenberg is one of the most popular and richest Screenwriter who was born on October 14, 1950 in New York, New York, United States. Acclaimed screenwriter and filmmaker, most known for his documentary, Land of Look Behind, about legendary reggae artist Bob Marley.

He was close friends with musician Bob Marley, and produced an award-winning documentary based on his life.

Greenberg visited Jamaica from a young age, and was a friend of Bob Marley. Following Marley’s death, Marley’s family asked Greenberg to make a film about Marley. In 1981, Greenberg filmed Land of Look Behind (1982), a documentary film that includes footage of Marley’s funeral as well as scenes filmed in Jamaica’s remote Cockpit Country and the capital city of Kingston. The film ended up being more of a visionary portrait of the Jamaica of that period (focusing on the Rastafari movement and reggae culture) than a film primarily about Marley. The film has won considerable critical acclaim, as well as winning the Gold Hugo Award for Best Documentary in the Chicago International Film Festival, the U.S.’s largest film competition. Land of Look Behind has also been honored as the best American documentary film of its era, and the legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog says “‘Land of Look Behind’ has achieved things never seen before in cinema.”

Greenberg worked closely with Werner Herzog on many projects. He served as a special unit photographer on the films Cape Fear by Martin Scorsese (1991), and 1900 by Bernardo Bertolucci (1976). He also wrote twenty screenplays and three books. His book Heart of Glass, about the making of the 1976 Werner Herzog masterwork of the same name, was called “The best book on the making of a film ever written” by Rolling Stone magazine. A new and entirely revised edition of the book, entitled, “EVERY NIGHT THE TREES DISAPPEAR: Werner Herzog and the Making of ‘Heart of Glass'” was published in hard cover by the Chicago Review Press. It featured Greenberg’s previously-unpublished photographs, which Herzog called “strange and beautiful.”

He never married.
