Hemberg began his studies in Lund, but after a couple of years he dropped out and in 1901 once again ventured into journalism, this time for Malmötidningen, as its police correspondent.
[6][7][8] Though Hemberg has authored theatre pieces during his time in Malmö, in 1916, he began focusing completely on writing film scripts.
[11] Oscar Hemberg wrote the film script for "På Solsidan" starring Ingrid Bergman, together with Gösta Stevens and Helge Krog.
[12][13][14] He also produced "The Ingmar Inheritance" in 1925 starring Conrad Veidt, directed by Gustaf Molander,[15] which was an adaptation of Selma Lagerlöf's 'Jermusalem' novels.
Olof Oscar Hemberg was born on 26 July 1881 in Östraby to the farmer Anders, and his wife Anna, and died on 14 May 1944 in Stockholm.
