Carl Haber, born in 1956, is an American writer and filmmaker.

Carl Haber’s eclectic life and career has made him a distinctive voice in independent film, driven by stories set in different cultures.

Background

Carl Haber was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in May 1956. In 1968, his family went to live in Shiraz, Iran and the experience, though lasting under a year, had a profound impact on him. After earning a BA in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and a graduate diploma from the London International Film School, Haber moved to New York City, and began working with Maysles Films and Max Mambru Films.

Carl Haber has directed, written, and produced feature films, documentaries and commercials in New York City, Rio de Janeiro, Vienna, Rome, Los Angeles and Prague. His most notable credits include "L’amico di Wang" an Italian feature film, the PBS WonderWorks film "Gryphon" starring Amanda Plummer and the Lions Gate production "Prisoner of Love". A member of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) since 1988, he has several new films in development with international producers.

In 1994, Carl Haber married Romanian actress and writer Carmen Burcea.

From 2005 to 2008, Carl Haber was faculty chair and taught direction and acting for directors at PCFE Film School in Prague, the Czech Republic.

This will make it possible to transfer tens of thousands of old, scratchy recordings from the Library of Congress into crisp, clean digital format.
