Inspired by true-life events in her own
family, the film premièred in Manhattan in April 2012 to a
standing-room-only house. It has since won international awards and
has been screened at festivals, conferences, and symposiums all over
the world.in addition to “Last Will and Embezzlement”, Ms.
Glasner also produced a rockumentary called “Madder Than A Full
Moon Dog”, a film based on her former company’s annual
heavy-metal music festival in Leeds, England.
Ms. Glasner also wrote several short
stories, including “The Calicoon,” a thriller set in a decaying
old hotel in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, and “Wrong
Side of the Pond”, a tale of sibling rivalry so extreme, it leads
to kidnap and murder. Ms. Glasner plans to eventually publish an
anthology of all her short stories. Her full-length novel, admittedly
her favorite of all her works is “Finding Emmaus,” a
historically and factually accurate fiction/fantasy which explores
the treatment and mistreatment of the mentally ill over the course of
about 350 years, and how society marginalizes and victimizes those
deemed to be ‘different’ (aka ‘less than’). Ms. Glasner’s
non-fiction book, “Silver and Gold” was written in honor of her
deceased parents and released on what would have been her father’s
93rd birthday.
Originally from New York City, born in
1953, Ms. Glasner moved to Connecticut with her family at eighteen. A
Dean’s List student, she graduated from Eastern Connecticut State
University with a degree in English and secondary education, with
concentrations in both psychology and sociology. She has also
returned to the world of academia to work on her post-graduate degree
in Literature and Creative Writing at Harvard University in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. She attributes her love of architecture and
antique restoration—two aspects of her life which are woven into
the fabric of “Finding Emmaus” — to her grandfather who, after
emigrating to the US from Austria in the 1920’s, became an iron
worker and joined the ranks of those who left their legacy in the
form of New York City’s incomparable skyline. But her real hero,
though gone nearly forty years, is still her grandmother, whose
strength, courage and unfailing faith taught her that “nothing
andno one can keep you from your heart’s desire without your
permission and your cooperation.” Ms. Glasner resides in rural
Connecticut where she continues working on several new projects,
including a musical play which has been endorsed by none other than
one of the original Nederlander brothers, the world-famous Broadway
producers. She is a proud member of the Writer’s Guild of America,
the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, and the CT
Historical Society. Additionally, Ms. Glasner is a Registered Reader
at the Royal Society of London and the British Library.
