Director and writer Greg Barker is drawn to strong character-driven narratives set within the moral ambiguities of war, espionage and our flawed institutions. His narrative feature SERGIO, starring Wagner Moura and Ana de Armas, was described by The Hollywood Reporter as “one of those rare films (The Year of Living Dangerously comes to mind) in which a genuine concern for geopolitics coexists perfectly well with romance and old-fashioned moviegoing pleasures.”
Barker directed and wrote the limited series GHOSTS OF BEIRUT for Showtime/Paramount+, which Spytalk called “a gripping, authoritative masterpiece.” Previous credits include THE FINAL YEAR, a feature documentary inside President Obama’s national security team and HBO's Emmy Award-winning MANHUNT, about the CIA’s pursuit of Osama Bin Laden. He’s covered conflict zones across the Middle East, the Balkans and Africa, worked in over 65 countries, and was named by The New York Times as "a filmmaker of artistic and political consequence.”
