Glenn Belverio

Glenn Belverio (born 1966) is an independent film and videomaker who lives in New York City. He began producing and co-hosting the popular Manhattan Cable series The Brenda and Glennda Show in 1990, a talk-show that took the art of drag out of the nightclubs and into the streets mixing politics with humour. After Brenda's nervous breakdown in 1993, the series became Glennda and Friends, a post-queer talk show that features provocative costars such as gay pornographer Bruce LaBruce and guerilla scholar Camille Paglia. "Glennda and Camille Do Downtown" later became a film and was well received at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival. Glen is also a curator and publicist for MIX: The New York Lesbian & Gay Experimental Film Festival. He is currently working on a new project: a feature film about women's boxing entitled "Catfight", co-directed by Christine Martin.
