Background

Greenebaum was born in Louisville, Kentucky and entered New York University Film School after majoring in philosophy at Amherst College. He took a two-year hiatus from NYU to expand on what was originally intended to be a short film, shooting the film in an assisted living facility in his hometown, using actors as well as the residents of the facility.[1][2]

Greenebaum was 22 when he began shooting his debut project. The film won awards at several film festivals before its theatrical release in February 2005.[3]

His political work as a filmmaker includes US senate campaigns and advocacy groups like Rock the Vote,[4] and includes such works as the 20-part video series Republican Sex And Marriage Advice spoofing the attitudes of Republicans.[5]
