Greenberg Anjou, Erik

Erik Greenberg Anjou is a graduate of Middlebury College (B.A.), Northwestern University (M.A.) and the American Film Institute (Directing Fellow). Although the subject of his work ranges from Ivy League football to abstract expressionist painting, Mr. Anjou has a particular passion for Jewish and Israeli-driven content. His current endeavour as a screenwriter is “YOU SHALL NOT KILL” adapted from a novel by Uri Oren. The film is being Co-Produced by Thomas Schühly (“Alexander,” “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen”) and Rony Yacov (“The Big Dig,” “Picking Up The Pieces”). Mr. Anjou is also developing a screenplay based on author Ehud Havazelet’s award-winning short story collection, “Like Never Before.” Two previous feature-length documentaries – “A Cantor’s Tale” and “The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground” are about sacred music and klezmer music. They have screened at nearly 200 international film festivals and have captured top festival prizes in Tel Aviv, Warsaw, Miami, San Diego and Washington, D.C. His current documentary effort about Jewish culture and its perpetuation is “Deli Man.”
