Marvin Glover

Marvin Glover is an American film producer, director, screenwriter, and music composer. Raised primarily in the Pacific Northwest, Marvin now resides in Los Angeles. Many of his artistic works center around themes of hope and empowerment. He has branched out into mainstream territory with recent Sci-Fi and comedy films.

Glover was born in San Antonio, Texas, the son of Thelma Todd-Glover, a elementary school teacher, and Leon Glover, a Air Force Sergeant, and construction worker. He attended Washington State University, University of Washington and the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Glover also received a scholarship to the ScreenwritingU program. The program was designed to take students directly into the Hollywood system as proficient writers.

Unlike the other standard programs for screenwriting, film production, or the Peter Stark Motion Picture Producing and critical studies programs, The ScreenwritingU program was designed to teach a select group of students how to be authors of their visions. Glover puts a lot of time into his writing. However, his ability to direct was correlated to an early beginning in music videos, which began with producing and directing music videos to his own catalog of music and has expanded to other artist and bands.
