Dana H. Glazer began making movies when he was nine-years-old, shooting claymation films in his basement with the help of his grandfather and a trusty Super-8 camera. He grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, and at age sixteen he wrote and directed a Twilight Zone-esque short film, Last Tear in Happytown, which surpassed three hundred films to win the New England High School Video Competition. This short also helped get Dana accepted into Bowdoin College in Maine, where he graduated Cum Laude in 1992 with a Bachelor’s degree in History. During his senior year he made an award winning short called Gray. This film helped distinguish Dana from an application pool of over a thousand for acceptance to NYU's Graduate Film Program.

At NYU Dana studied extensively with Academy Award®-winning director Barbara Kopple (Harlan County, USA.) He participated in Master Class workshops with such luminaries as Directors Beeban Kidron (Bridget Jones Diary 2) and Sidney Lumet (Network, Dog Day Afternoon) and also interned with producer David Heyman (Harry Potter). His first original feature screenplay, Chatter of the Gods, competed in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science’s Don Gee Nicholls Screenwriting Fellowships and beat over four thousand other scripts to become a semifinalist in 1996.

Dana’s NYU graduate thesis film, Intermezzo, a romantic ghost story, was awarded a Warner Brothers Production grant and rose above five hundred other student shorts to garner the bronze medal in the dramatic category of the 1998 Student Academy Awards®. This gave Dana entrée into Hollywood. He gained representation with agent Ryan Saul of the Metropolitan Talent Agency, created relationships with dozens of film companies on the studio lots and wrote six polished spec scripts. 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. Dana’s current project is Divergence, a psychological thriller that he has written and plans to direct. Dana lives with his wife and baby son in Hoboken, New Jersey.
