Role: Director
Remembering The Future with Herb Greene is a feature-length documentary currently in production that delves into the complicated legacy and groundbreaking work of architect and artist Herb Greene, a visionary that rose out of Norman, Oklahoma. Filmmaker and architect Lila Cohen embarks on a personal journey to capture the multifaceted narrative of her 92-year-old great uncle, whose brilliance as an architect and artistic vision continues to unfold with profound relevance. A journey of admiration and discovery, the filmmaker uncovers the intricate layers that surround her great uncle’s life from his Jewish upbringing in depression era New York, to pioneering an avant-garde movement under the mentorship of Bruce Goff whose non-conformist pedagogy and often overlooked counterculture architecture movement grew out of Oklahoma in the 1950’s. The film is a story about a family’s legacy while unearthing the complex layers of inspiration, prejudice, triumphs, and losses that shaped Herb Greene’s life, revealing the power of creative freedom.
