GlenJM.com Archives Deluxe

I am planning on revamping GlenJM.com at some point over the Christmas break. I decided that since I have developed such an intense relationship with this blog I have hear, that GlenJM.blogspot.com will become your primary source for everything Glen J. Matthews. Kapiche?

Therefore, the News-Feed on GlenJM.com will be abolished, and the website will be tidied-up for easier access to the website's information.

Thus alas therefore continuing, I present three months of Archives for archiving sakes...

November 12
th, 2007
I am going to be featured in Jason Eisener's next short film tentatively titled "Treevenge". I will be shooting during December. This is my third project with Eisener (Streets of Domination, Hobo With a Shotgun, and now Treevenge). The film will be produced by Yer Dead Inc.

Congrats to
Eisener, who has been named 2007's Best Independant Filmmaker in Halifax by The Coast. Check out the article here or in The Coast.

WEBSITE UPDATE: I think the next update will showcase a new format for the website. Stay tuned!

For now, keep checking out my blog for my tour with Neptune Theatre's Young Company @

On the Road with Neptune Young Company
October
5th, 2007
Last week, I began touring the Maritimes as a member of the 28th Neptune Theatre Young Company tour. The tour will take me to all corners of the Maritimes in the next 4 months as I (and my fellow cast-mates Kim Parkhill, Adam Bayne, Gillian Ferrier & Stage Manager Darcy "Cockshirt" Lindzon) present Liars & Bump in the Night to schools all over.

So far, so friggin' good. The tour has been an absolute blast and has been getting some
positive feedback. I have started a blog dedicated to the tour "Glen Matthews: Actor/World Traveler EXCITEMENT Blog!" @ GlenJM.blogspot.com Check it out and follow my progress as a rockstar for children!
