Dark Prism

Greenberg directed the microbudget feature film Dark Prism (2015) while she was still in high school, which featured appearances by Lloyd Kaufman, Matt Katz-Bohen, and Mac DeMarco. At age 18 Greenberg was able to garner press from Rolling Stone, Vice, Pitchfork and more, arguably making it the most internationally discussed feature film to have a total budget under 1,000 dollars of 2015.[18][19] Dark Prism showed internationally at Festivalito De La Palma festival in the Canary Islands to critical acclaim and is now available to watch on Amazon Prime.[20]

Amityville: Vanishing Point

Greenberg directed a feature film titled Amityville: Vanishing Point which served as a David Lynch inspired dark parody of horror films.[21]

ReAgitator: Revenge of the Parody

Hoping to take the parody element further, Greenberg directed the feature film ReAgitator: Revenge of the Parody as a queer and woman centered Dada inspired homage to horror films such as Re-Animator and The Pit and the Pendulum.[22]

The Bathtub

In 2020, Greenberg released a short film starring Bob Bert of Sonic Youth called The Bathtub. The actors were shot entirely on green screen and then inserted into carefully placed miniatures, to create the illusion of the action taking place inside of dollhouses. The film premiered in Yahoo Entertainment.[23]

The Puppeteer’s Assistant

In 2021, Greenberg directed a short film for the Adult Swim compilation “Smalls Volume 5” entitled “The Puppeteer’s Assistant”. The film utilized a combination of live action and computer animation.[24]
