Biografi
Glueckman grew up loving movies. At 13, he took his bar mitzvah money and bought an 8mm movie camera, Eumig projector (with sync sound) and editing deck and started making movies. At 15, he wrote and directed his first film, The Babysitter and the Beasts, a horror thriller with a synchronized sound track. At the University of Michigan, he served on the Cinema Guild and worked on the Ann Arbor Film Festival. He also made more films at U of M under the guidance of George Manupelli. After graduating Michigan, he wanted to go to USC's film school but his parents insisted he get an MBA and a real job, so he studied business at Columbia University and worked in advertising as a copywriter and producer, eventually directing commercials. Needing a portfolio film to get the attention of a Hollywood agent, he enrolled in an intensive film workshop at the New School learning all aspects of the craft from Jim Pasternak and Jessica Scott Gray. He kept the workshop team together, raised funding and wrote and directed _Pickup (1977)_, a 22 minute Hitchcockian thriller about sex and violence in the afternoon, casting as his lead actress Glenn Close in her first appearance before a motion picture camera. _Pickup (1977)_ got him signed by Hollywood agent Cindy Turtle and he moved to LA in 1977. He had eight movies produced including Russkies (1987), Gross Anatomy (1989) and The Fear Inside (1992) and has written over 30 screenplays for Disney, Universal, Warner Brothers, Paramount, Viacom, New Century, NBC, CBS and ABC. In 1996, he became an Internet content pioneer when he co-created, wrote and designed the Site Architecture for the groundbreaking Mission: Impossible The Web Adventure for Apple Computer, which garnered 36 million hits its first six weeks on the web. His last project in Hollywood was creating and co producing with Tony Masucci five pilot episodes of Scoring, an interactive dating show for MTV networks in 2002. He is now the Co-founder/Chairman/President of eJamming Inc, a high tech company connecting musicians so they can actually play music together over the Internet in real time, earning him kudos from Fortune magazine (one of the top 24 technology innovators of 2008; Forbes magazine (one of the top 10 Breakout Tech companies of 2009) and a profile by Bloomberg TV's Innovators Show in May 2011.
