About Pamela
FIRST AND FOREMOST:
“Finding Emmaus” in the early stages of development. I am actively seeking a dedicated team of talented professionals to share my passion for this TV Limited-Series: a lead producer, executive producer(s) and a visionary director. Please follow the link below for a more in-depth description of the story.
NOW: THE BALANCE OF MY BIO:
Pamela S. K. Glasner is a is a published author of fiction and non-fiction, a filmmaker, a social advocate, a playwright, and a contributor to both the Huffington Post and Cabaret Scenes Magazine.
“Last Will and Embezzlement,” her critically-acclaimed documentary about the financial exploitation of the elderly, starring the late Hollywood icon, Mickey Rooney, was Ms. Glasner’s debut film. Inspired by true-life events in her own family, the film premièred in Manhattan in April 2012 to a standing-room-only house. It has since won international awards and has been screened at festivals, conferences, and symposiums all over the world.
Since 2012, Ms. Glasner has been traveling nationally, speaking on the issue of elder financial exploitation, teaching seniors, baby boomers, and the professionals who provide products and services to both demographics how to protect themselves, those they love, and those who are in their care. For information on how to book Ms. Glasner for speaking engagements for all types of events including conferences, symposiums, CEU classes, lunch-and-learns, workshops, and so on, please go to
In addition to “Last Will and Embezzlement”, Ms. Glasner also produced a rockumentary called “Madder Than A Full Moon Dog”, a film based on her former company’s annual heavy-metal music festival in Leeds, England.
Ms. Glasner also wrote several short stories, including “The Calicoon,” a thriller set in a decaying old hotel in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, and “Wrong Side of the Pond”, a tale of sibling rivalry so extreme, it leads to kidnap and murder. Ms. Glasner plans to eventually publish an anthology of all her short stories.
Her full-length novel, admittedly her favorite of all her works, is “Finding Emmaus,” a historically and factually accurate fiction / fantasy which explores the treatment and mistreatment of the mentally ill over the course of about 350 years, and how society marginalizes and victimizes those deemed to be ‘different’ (aka ‘less than’). Ms. Glasner’s non-fiction book, “Silver and Gold” was written in honor of her deceased parents and released on what would have been her father’s 93rd birthday.
Originally from New York City, born in 1953, Ms. Glasner moved to Connecticut with her family at eighteen. A Dean’s List student, she graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University with a degree in English and secondary education, with concentrations in both psychology and sociology. In 2017 she returned to the world of academia, receiving her Masters Degree in Creative Writing and Literature from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
She attributes her love of architecture and antique restoration—two aspects of her life which are woven into the fabric of “Finding Emmaus” — to her grandfather who, after emigrating to the US from Austria in the 1920’s, became an iron worker and joined the ranks of those who left their legacy in the form of New York City’s incomparable skyline. But her real hero, though gone more than forty years, is still her grandmother, whose strength, courage and unfailing faith taught her that “nothing and no one can keep you from your heart’s desire without your permission and your cooperation.”
Ms. Glasner resides in rural Connecticut where she continues working on several new projects. A proud member of the Writer’s Guild of America, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, and the Connecticut Historical Society, Ms. Glasner is also a Registered Reader at the Royal Society of London and the British Library.
Unique traits: Just got my Masters in Creative Writing and Literature from Harvard (May 2023). I was a really good writer before—now I'm killer! I love writing. I'd rather be writing than most anything I can think of. I am a really good teacher, as well.
