Josh GreenbArg is a writer and producer whose work spans studio features and TV comedy, with film credits on The Watch, Brüno, and Vanguard, and television credits including Farzar and Paradise PD for Netflix, plus writers room work on The Goldbergs. His process is built on stripping everything down to intention. No ornament. No detours. Just the spine of the scene and whether it moves. We talked about how he builds that clarity. He doesn't waste words.
