meet the filmmaker
Dana H. Glazer grew up in Newton, Massachusetts and began
making movies when he was nine-years-old, shooting clay-mation films in
his basement with the help of his grandfather and a trusty Super-8 camera.
Later, he attended Bowdoin College in Maine and then studied filmmaking
at NYU's Graduate Film Program.
Dana's NYU graduate thesis film, Intermezzo, a romantic ghost story, won
a Student Academy Award in 1998. In 2002 Dana sold his original script,
Rise, Sons of Bowdoin, an epic civil war story about Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain,
to Warner Brothers for director Mimi Leder (Deep Impact) and producer John
Wells (ER, The West Wing, Far From Heaven.) As a result, Dana became a member
of The Writers Guild of America and the sale was featured on the front page
of the Hollywood Reporter.
Currently, Dana lives with his wife and two young sons in New Jersey. Along
with being a Work-At-Home-Dad, Dana has freelanced for the Sci-Fi Channel
and HBO as well as directed a short documentary featuring Darryl MacDaniels
from RUN-DMC. Inspired by his own experiences of fatherhood, Dana is currently
filming a feature documentary, titled The Evolution of Dad.
