Glenn wrote the hit film KICKBOXER (Jean-Claude Van Damme) which spawned four sequels, did production rewrites on CYBORG COP, which produced one sequel, and BLOOD BROTHERS which thankfully had none.
He also wrote and co-Produced VICTOR ONE: THE GEORGE AGUILAR STORY. For television, Glenn has written for "Walker: Texas Ranger" (CBS), "Baywatch" (All American Syndication), "Assaulted Nuts" (Cinemax),
"The G.L.O.W. Show" (Syndication, Fox) and "Get Up and Go" (Independent). He has had 17 of his original screenplays optioned, as well as nearly 30 television proposal concepts. (You can find him on imdb here or on the
NC Film Office site here.
For-hire screenplays include: MR. HOOVER DOESN'T LIKE ME (Jago Films), THUNDERWING (Oracle Films), JUSTICE CRUCIFIED (Tucker Films), VASQUEZ (Firehouse Prod's), RETURN TO EARTH and
SATURDAY SOLDIERS (Beachwood Entertainment), LOVE, SWEET LOVE (Panda Prod's) and DARK CAY (Dark Cay Prod's). He also developed FUP (from the novel by Jim Dodge) with Chartoff-Winkler Productions,
RANDOM ACT with Jonathan Frakes' Goepp Circle Productions at Paramount, and ENDGAME - THE DRILL with Max Wong’s Pink Slip Pictures (TUCK EVERLASTING, BRING IT ON). He also developed (for hire)
"Tesla," "The Jackie Cochran Story" and "The Roy Orbison Story" for Zao Productions, Westwood. In addition, Glenn has developed, written or consulted on numerous feature film and television projects - mostly for pay,
sometimes out of the kindness of his heart (when he didn't get paid!). Several features on which he consulted got made after his input. How cool is that!
In 2011, Glenn wrote and directed ( as well as Produced, with Greg Williams), seven videos, five of which won awards. These included a national recruitment video for AAMGA, a QEP information "commercial" and five
safety videos for Appalachian State University. Glenn also wrote and directed several industrials, both live and videotaped, for Universal/MCA, Roland Instruments and the Tweetsie Railroad theme park, among others. In
2007, he directed and produced a taped commercial for Blue Ridge Vision which has won two awards.
In his over-30-years as a working writer, Glenn has written over 70 screenplays, eight novels, 20-plus teleplays, 10 short stories, a dozen industrial videos and four plays, plus countless treatments, proposals, and outlines. He
also worked as a technical editor for a defense contractor and wrote, edited, photographed and did layout for an in-house organ, The Spindrift, for five years and a newsletter for Yonahlossee Racquet Club for four years.
In 2004, Glenn fulfilled a life-long dream by doing his first abstract-expressionist painting. Since then, he has had six shows, has hung in as many galleries, and in his first year of seriously pursuing art, sold over 30 paintings.
Happily!
Glenn is currently an adjunct professor at Appalachian State University where he is teaching Screenwriting, Acting for the Camera and Industrial Video Production A-Z. He also taught screenwriting, directing and producing for
two years at the Palm Beach County School of the Arts, English and creative writing at New Community School (Miami, FL) for one year, Acting For the Camera in Los Angeles at the Creative Actors Workshop for five years
(where he directed over 1,100 on-camera scenes), had his own Camera Acting class in West Palm Beach, FL, and has guest-lectured and participated in numerous round-tables regarding screenwriting, including the Hollywood
Screenwriters Association and the Vancouver Film School. As a result, he is currently writing, "How to Write Your First Screenplay With as Little Pain as Possible." He has also sold cars, been a Teamster, acted in
commercials and "General Hospital," lived in a commune and been hospitalized for over a week in a communist block country. Hard to say which was worse.
Most recently, Glenn has begun e-publishing his novels, beginning with "Riverbend," a brooding psychological thriller with his trademark offbeat dark humor. Next he plans to e-publish his novels "Temptation Key" (a nostalgic
look back at the Florida Keys in 1966) and "Dear Me" (a post-apocalyptic dark comedy) by the end of 2011. In 2012, hopes to publish at least three more of his novels - because he really enjoys it!
His literary heroes include Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., John Steinbeck, Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen and Joseph Heller (at least for "Catch 22"). His favorite films include Citizen Kane, Memento, Fight Club, Amelie, Snatch, The Fall
and of course Apocalypse Now.
