Julien Nitzberg (born 1966) is an American film director, script writer, and theatre director.
Nitzberg directed the musical The Beastly Bombing in Los Angeles and the documentary film The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia,[1] a portrayal of The White Family, who have been called "the most extreme dope-addled, gas-huffing, alcoholic, robbing, murderous, criminal redneck family in a nation brimming over with 'em.[2]
Nitzberg in 2007 began a script for Sputnik Monroe for HBO Films, a story about Sputnik Monroe (wrestler), a white professional wrestler who "helped integrate the sport throughout the South in the 1950s."[3] He has recently completed the third draft of the script after HBO allowed Nitzberg time away from the script to work on the "Wonder Whites" film.[4]
