'''In recent years Glenn has traded his still camera for movie camera systems. Glenn realized that he has this ability to tell visual stories where the viewer’s emotions are manipulated and being moved. He has realized that the power of this – telling the story isn’t all about stunts and action and special effects. Completely single-minded and absolutely driven to accomplish his goal, Glenn puts that passion and love into his work making the kind of movies that he wants to see, and that he thinks a lot of “somebody else” out there in the public wants to see as well'''
