Glenn enjoyes writing as a spiritual process . In the case of the “Tested” Sceenplay , he chose anagram personality types to match and mirror the collective conciosness. He carefully engineers his characters to synchronize the microcosm and the macrocosm. He also uses meditation as a means of character development. 

After writing the ruff draft of the “Tested“ screenplay he drew on  Ben Madelys experience and expertise for further development and constructive feedback. Reducing the screenplay from 120 pages to  98 pages was one of the outcomes of this collaboration.  Glenn has shown his screenplay to various evaluators in the process of getting it polished and ready for filming.
