Glenn made his feature directing debut in 2009 with the comedy, EATING OUT: ALL YOU CAN EAT, which was so successful, it spawned two more sequels.  It is one of the most popular gay film series of all time...if you don't count LORD OF THE RINGS!

An accomplished writer, Glenn co-wrote the screenplay, DIRECTED BY DOROTHY ARZNER with filmmaker Chris J. Russo, which was a selection for Film Independent’s prestigious Screenwriters and Directors Labs.  It is currently in development.  Through his relationships with Scout Productions and World of Wonder, Glenn has directed/produced numerous documentary and reality programs, including QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GIRL (Bravo), TORI AND DEAN (Oxygen), WHAT PEREZ SEZ (VH1), SHOW CHOIR (MTV), MY HUSBAND’S SECRET (A&E) and CAMP MICHAEL JACKSON (Sky TV), which followed the fans of the late superstar during his infamous child molestation trial.  Glenn wrote and directed the comedy pilot, LEZ BE FRIENDS, and made his mark on the international film festival circuit with his award-winning shorts, BOYCHICK, LOST CAUSE, LITTLE BFFs, and HIV BASICS FOR CORRECTIONS OFFICERS, an educational video made during a 4-year stint as a teacher in LA County Jail. Not to overstate the obvious, but his experiences with hardened criminals has amply prepared Glenn for a career in Hollywood!

Born in SOPRANOS-esque Youngstown, Ohio, Glenn was left with little to do but develop his imagination.  As a child, his favorite pastime was going with his mom to the movies and becoming enthralled by such films as PAPER MOON, THE EXORCIST, and TAXI DRIVER. He credits those classics with fostering his passion for storytelling. He eventually got the hell out of Youngstown and attended the UCLA School of Film And Television. Upon graduation, Glenn worked as a production accountant on over 25 feature films, including the much-loved basketball film, HOOSIERS, and Jodie Foster's directing debut, LITTLE MAN TATE.  Advised by the writer of that film, Scott Frank, to stop crunching numbers in order to concentrate on filmmaking, Gaylord did just that and has never looked back. Glenn's bucket list includes writing and directing movies in every genre...except for Westerns.  They're ok, but Clint Eastwood has pretty much done everything you can with them. Next genre please!
