Glenn Berggoetz is an American director, writer and actor. He is known
for directing several low-budget films, including The Worst Movie
Ever!, a film which had the lowest grossing opening weekend in
history. His other films include To Die is Hard, Midget Zombie
Takeover, Auto Shop of Horrors, Evil Intent, and The Ghosts of Johnson
Woods.Berggoetz was born on October 29, 1976 just outside Atlantic
City, New Jersey, raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, graduated from
Concordia Lutheran High School, and received his master's degree at
California State University, Dominguez Hills. In the mid-1990s, he
began to write screenplays and, by 2006, had completed eight scripts.
Unable to get his screenplays read by studios, and acting upon a
suggestion, he decided to produce and direct his own films. His first
effort was completed in 2006 when he finished filming the short Bad
Movies, Good Showers and Civil Engineers. By the end of 2007, he had
completed two additional shorts and two feature-length films. To date,
three of his features have screened on Canadian television, six have
received limited theatrical releases, and all nine of his feature
films have distribution deals in place. Berggoetz's film The Worst
Movie EVER! was selected by independent film critic Terra King as one
of the ten best independent feature films of 2011. In 2013, Berggoetz
premiered Midget Zombie Takeover in Winchester, Virginia. After that,
Midget Zombie Takeover screened in many theaters across the United
States and England.In the spring of 2014 Paste (magazine) released its
list of the 100 greatest B movies in cinema history. Berggoetz's 2010
feature film To Die is Hard came in as the 16th best B movie of all
time on the list. Berggoetz's 2016 film The Ghosts of Johnson Woods
that stars Joe Bob Briggs was selected by Gross Movie Reviews as one
of the ten best films of that year.
