Jennifer Lopez Documentarian Jason Bergh Talks ‘Greatest Love Story Never Told,’ New York Pride and Scripted Ambitions: ‘You Got One Shot’
variety.comMatt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Not many would consider it hard labor to stand in the shadow of Jennifer Lopez. Few, perhaps, could stand as still and as long as documentary filmmaker Jason Bergh.
For nearly a decade, Bergh has recorded the multi-hyphenate star behind the scenes as she has charted new paths as a content producer and beauty mogul, and danced her way onto America’s biggest stage — the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Last month, Bergh took his loftiest seat at J. Lo, Inc. by serving as director for “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” a much-discussed documentary about the making of Lopez’s 2024 visual album “This Is Me … Now.” Imposingly tall and excessively kind, Bergh has been a gentle giant in the unscripted space for years.
He’s directed episodic and short content on notable music figures like Alicia Keys and athletes Stephen Curry and Clay Matthews.
