He also wrote and co-Produced VICTOR ONE: THE GEORGE AGUILAR STORY. He has had 17 of his original screenplays optioned. (You can find me on imdb.com, listed as Glenn Bruce, Glenn A. Bruce and Glen Bruce. I'm trying to get that corrected!) For-hire and developed 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 and RANDOM ACT with Jonathan Frakes' Goepp Circle Productions at Paramount, and ENDGAME with Max Wong’s Pink Slip Pictures (TUCK EVERLASTING, BRING IT ON). 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 developed and/or optioned over a dozen television series proposals. Glenn also wrote (and directed on occasion) 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 to date. In his 29 years as a working writer, Glenn has written over 70 screenplays, eight novels, 20-plus teleplays, 10 short stories 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. 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 Acting for the Camera and Screenwriting. 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 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 roundtables regarding screenwriting, including 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. |
