Glenn Allen

Visual Effects Producer/Supervisor | Co-Founder Brainstorm Digital, Inc.

AFTER GRADUATING EMERSON COLLEGE IN 1991, GLENN ALLEN QUICKLY ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS A FILMMAKER WITH INTENSE PASSION FOR HIS CRAFT. WHILE WORKING ON FEATURE FILMS IN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING CAMERA, SOUND, AND PROPS, GLENN WAS DRAWN TO FILM EDITING TO HONE HIS STORYTELLING SKILLS.

IN 1994, GLENN WAS HIRED BY RON HOWARD AS AN ASSISTANT EDITOR ON "THE PAPER". THIS 10 YEAR COLLABORATION ON HOWARD'S TEAM SAW GLENN'S SKILLS MATURE ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE GREATEST POST-PRODUCTION TALENT IN THE INDUSTRY. DURING HIS TENURE WITH HOWARD, GLENN'S PARTICULAR INTEREST IN VISUAL EFFECTS WAS SPARKED WHILE MAKING THE ACADEMY AWARD WINNING "APOLLO 13". ASIDE FROM HOWARD'S FILMS, GLENN'S KEEN EYE FOR STUNNING VISUAL EFFECTS WAS CULTIVATED ON NOTABLE VISUAL EFFECTS PICTURES SUCH AS "SLEEPY HOLLOW" AND "MISSION TO MARS". THIS SPECIALIZATION LED TO A MORE HANDS-ON APPROACH IN THE CUTTING ROOM, PROVIDING RON HOWARD WITH CONCEPTUAL IDEAS FOR VISUAL EFFECTS ON "A BEAUTIFUL MIND" (ACADEMY AWARD - BEST PICTURE) AND "THE MISSING". CONCURRENTLY, OTHER ACCOMPLISHED DIRECTORS SUCH AS BRIAN DEPALMA, JONATHAN DEMME, AND FRANK OZ ALSO RECOGNIZED GLENN'S TALENT, AND QUICKLY ENLISTED HIS SERVICES ON THEIR FILMS.
