Gordon Glenn

Glenn has been active on the local film scene since the early seventies. His long-term association with the ACTF, extensive experience as a producer, writer and director and 'hands-on' approach, made him a valuable member of the team behind YOLNGU BOY.

Glenn first met Stephen Johnson whilst directing the ACTF's documentary, First Day, which he also wrote and co-produced. The program presented children across Australia as they experienced their initial taste of school and won several awards both locally and abroad. First Day was one of two projects undertaken by Glenn for the ACTF that presented events through a child's perspective, as was Songs Of Innocence - A Child's View of Family Life, which he co-produced with Dr. Patricia Edgar in addition to writing and directing. Celia, the internationally acclaimed 1988 feature co-produced by Glenn, also explored a dramatic issue through the eyes of a child and received two AFI nominations.

For television, Glenn has directed the tele-movie, Just Us, and the award-winning drama Anna, which he wrote and co-produced. He has also directed a slew of award-winning commercials and has served as an AFI Judge on two occasions. Recently he produced and directed The Never Too Late Show for SBS Television and Artist Services; a ten-part adult literacy series. Glenn currently has several feature projects in development.
