Glen Reynolds founded Circus Road Films in 2006 to provide strategic consulting services to filmmakers. Circus Road guides filmmakers through the festival and distribution process and negotiates licensing deals on their behalf. Glen has been involved in the sales of over 900 feature and documentary films, many of which have premiered at Sundance, Slamdance, SXSW, Cinequest, Tribeca, Hot Docs, Fantastic, Telluride and Toronto. Distributors of these films include Fox, Sony, Warner Bros, Universal, Lions Gate, Magnolia, IFC, Strand, Oscilloscope, Drafthouse, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Starz, Lifetime, ESPN and Syfy.

Some of the most popular selling films include the first films of some successful filmmakers, such as “Absentia,” written and directed by Mike Flanagan (“Midnight Mass”), “Pop Skull,” written and directed by Adam Wingard (“Godzilla vs. Kong”) and “Newlyweeds,” written and directed by Shaka King (“Judas and the Black Messiah”).

His recent credits include “Clean” (Tribeca/IFC) with Adrien Brody, “My Dead Dad” and “18½” with Willa Fitzgerald (101 Films).

Glen has also co-produced twenty films to date, including his favorite, "Conversations with Other Women," which premiered at Telluride and stars Aaron Eckhart, Helena Bonham Carter and Olivia Wilde. His other great production experience includes developing two projects with Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow) and co-producing five films with Ram Bergman (Knives Out, Star Wars: The Last Jedi).

Glen holds a JD from the University of Texas at Austin, a BA in English from NYU, and is a graduate of the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. He is a juror for the UCLA Screenwriting Competition and a jury member for the Woods Hole Film Festival.

What we use:

LENS – Most people ask us what camera we use, but no one asks about the lens, even though filmmakers always tell us it's more important. This lens was a big investment for us and we wish we could have gotten it sooner. I started using this lens in late 2013 – http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq

AUDIO

Rode VideoMic Pro – The Rode microphone helps us record our backup audio. It also helps us sync our audio after the fact http://amzn.to/2t1n2hx

Audio Recorder – If we had to do it all over again, this would probably be the first product we would have bought – http://amzn.to/2tbFlM9

LIGHT – Although we like to use as much natural light as possible, we often enhance the lighting with this little portable lamp. We have two of these and they have saved us many times – http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv

COMPUTER – Our favorite computer, we each have one and have been using different models since 2010 – http://amzn.to/2t1M67Z

EDITING – We updated our editing suite this year and are glad we did! It has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. New software also helps us when we have a problem because it's easy to search and find a solution – https://goo.gl/56LnpM
