Glenn Morey

Glenn Morey is half of a husband/wife filmmaking team, along with Julie Morey. Glenn is an inter-country adoptee, born in Seoul, Korea, in 1960, abandoned as a new-born, and adopted at the age of 6 months to the US. He lives in Denver and has enjoyed a 40-year career in branding, media, and filmmaking. He was an Executive Producer for the documentary film, "House on Fire: Black America Responds to AIDS," featuring the late Julian Bond, Rep. Maxine Waters, Kweisi Mfume, Maya Angelou, and many
other African-American leaders; awarded Best Documentary for the Houston International Film Festival and broadcast on PBS. The Morey’s current documentary film project, Side by Side, presents the stories of 100 former South Korean orphans and “social orphans” who were adopted to Western countries or who aged out of Korean orphanages. In collaboration with the New York Times Op Docs editors, the project was adapted into the short doc, Given Away. The short doc, Side by Side, won the Gold Jury Award for Best Short Documentary in the Social Justice Film Festival. It was also an Official Selection of the San Diego Asian Film Festival, Boston Asian American Film Festival, and others. In 2019, Side by Side completed exhibitions in Seoul and New York City, with its 12-screen video art installation, and is in planning for a national tour. In 2020, Side by Side will be released as a 4-hour Audible Originals title.
