HAPPY BIRTHDAY Joe Berlinger. Oscar-nominated Joseph Joe Berlinger (born October 30, 1961) is an American documentary film-maker who, in collaboration with Bruce Sinofsky, has created such films as Paradise Lost about the West Memphis 3, Brothers Keeper, Some Kind of Monster, andCrude. In collaboration with journalist Greg Milner, Berlinger has also written a book calledMetallica: This Monster Lives, which is about his journey from making the poorly receivedBlair Witch 2 to creating Some Kind of Monster with Metallica, one of the worlds most famous metal bands. Berlinger has also worked on TV series such as Homicide: Life on the Street, D.C. and FanClub. The first movie Berlinger directed, in 1992, was the documentary Brothers Keeper, which tells the story of Delbart Ward, an elderly man in Munnsville, New York, who was charged with second-degree murder following the death of his brother William. Chicago Tribune film critic Roger Ebert, in his review of the movie, called it an extraordinary documentary about what happened next, as a town banded together to stop what folks saw as a miscarriage of justice. He graduated from Colgate University in 1983.[1] He lives with his wife and daughters in New York. After spending $1.3 million on legal fees over footage for his documentary Crude, Berlinger expressed concerns about being able to make documentaries about legal cases in the future. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Berlinger
