Hello there, Haligonia!

For everyone who already frequents my blog, my blog is now featured on Haligonia.ca, a local website that features all sorts of local content, which is pretty damn’d awesome if I may say so myself. I am thrilled to welcome a whole new fleet of Haligonians to the wonderful world of Glen Matthews.

And now, to welcome said fleet.

Every good blog (and let me tell you, my blog is effing awesome) has a general theme. This blawg’s theme is me, The Glen Matthews. But what do I do? I am an actor! Fun, right? SO the purpose of this blog is to invite you to follow me in my various exploits in the film industry!

This is my headshot. I like it, it covers up my self-loathing very well!

Most notably, I worked on MOBY DICK, featuring Ethan Hawk, William Hurt, Gillian Anderson, and a bunch of other actors who are much prettier than me (click here for blog entries regarding Moby Dick). A couple of weeks ago, I worked on Cory Bowles‘ second short film RIGHTEOUS, which of course, I blogged about. Last year, I went to Sundance Film Festival with the short film TREEVENGE (blogged the entire adventure to Park City, Utah here) directed by Jason Eisener, who is currently in pre-production for his first major motion picture HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, to be shot here in the Spring.

Impressed? You shouldn’t be, it’s merely a series of lucky encounters & mind-blowing coincidences that make quantum physics look like a set of building blocks.

You can check out my page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Glen-Matthews/) where you can watch plenty of videos of me doing things, and determine whether or not you can tolerate me enough to become a fan of mine. I implore you to do so, it improves your life!

All that I hope to do is offer a definitive timeline to accompany my raise to fame & riches (lots of riches), and my inevitable battle with Ellen Page for Halifax’s affection. I invite you to follow my adventures in the film & theatre industries and live your life vicariously through mine.

-Glen

PS. This entry was riddled with truthy sarcasm. The worst kind.

PSS. Seriously, please like me.

The Button

I meant to post this when it was released (about a month ago), and then my lazy ass forgot about it, so here we go!

Most of the stuff that I post on the blog has to do with my involvement in front of the camera, well this is BEHIND! Dun-Dun-DUN! Three sentences into this blog entry, and 100% of them have ended in an exclamation mark; my apologies.

The short film being presented to you today is THE BUTTON, Directed by Andrew Bush, written by Mr. Bush & Mark Little (both whom you may know from the sketch comedy troupe Picnicface). I was the AD, that’s Assistant Director for all you non-geeks. The short is two minutes long, and very funny. Enjoy…

Memorable Memorabilia

With the assistance of it’s creator (Lindsay Thorne), I have managed to attain my finished head from TREEVENGE.

…It’s Home Alone meets Silence of the Lambs!

Two years ago, I did me some blogging during the creation of the head, which can be read here: http://glenjm.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/attention-span-tv-treevenge-pre-production/

And the final product can be viewed as part of Jason Eisener’s Sundance Selection & Honorable Mention (it feels good to say that) Treevenge. This is where you say “Glen, we knowwwww.”

…this is what I do with my Wednesdays off.
