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. “The Evolution of Dad” was inspired by his own experiences of fatherhood.
