Berggoetz was born on October 29, 1976 just outside Atlantic City, New Jersey, raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, graduated from Concordia Lutheran High School,[6] and received his master's degree at California State University, Dominguez Hills.[7] In the mid-1990s, he began to write screenplays and, by 2006, had completed eight scripts. Unable to get his screenplays read by studios, and acting upon a suggestion, he decided to produce and direct his own films. His first effort was completed in 2006 when he finished filming the shortBad Movies, Good Showers and Civil Engineers. By the end of 2007, he had completed two additional shorts and two feature-length films. To date, three of his features have screened on Canadian television, six have received limited theatrical releases, and all nine of his feature films have distribution deals in place.[6] Berggoetz's film The Worst Movie EVER! was selected by independent film critic Terra King as one of the ten best independent feature films of 2011. In 2013, Berggoetz premiered Midget Zombie Takeover in Winchester, Virginia. After that, Midget Zombie Takeover screened in many theaters across the United States and England.[8]
In the spring of 2014 Paste (magazine) released its list of the 100 greatest B movies in cinema history. Berggoetz's 2010 feature film To Die is Hard came in as the 16th best B movie of all time on the list.[9] Berggoetz's 2016 film The Ghosts of Johnson Woods that stars Joe Bob Briggs was selected by Gross Movie Reviews as one of the ten best films of that year.[10]
In 2016, film critic Jim Vorel published a lengthy article about Berggoetz in which he said, "Glenn Berggoetz is a uniquely compelling individual - there's no one else like him," and, "The movie business would be unbearably drab without Berggoetz."[11]
