Alan Greenberg (October 14, 1950 – January 27, 2015) was an American film director, screenwriter, photographer, and author.
He served as a special unit photographer on the films Cape Fear by Martin Scorsese (1991), and 1900 by Bernardo Bertolucci (1976).
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.
In 2012, Greenberg was going to write and produce a film based on his acclaimed screenplay Love in Vain, a poetic account of the mysterious blues genius Robert Johnson.
Greenberg's last screenplay, Tutankhamun – Lord of Two Lands, a radically researched vision of the boy king's murder intertwined with the intrigue surrounding his tomb's discovery in 1922, was to have been produced in 2013.
