Glenn Carwithen
Senior Lecturer
Drawing on 30 years as a hard working and successful director in the television and film industry, Glenn teaches directing for MA Television Production at Falmouth.
Glenn has worked on a wide range of projects within the film and television industry. Learning his craft at the BBC, he spent a twelve year period directing title sequences and programme content across the spectrum of television programming – specialising in arts and factual programming. Amongst this work at BBC, he designed the famous “message in a bottle’ title sequence for the long-running Arena series. He has been rewarded over the years with Royal Television Society, BAFTA, D&AD, and various film festival awards and nominations.
Glenn set up the successful independent production company Brewers Productions, producing short form programmes and series for Channel 4, Sky, and Discovery Channel.
Working out of Brewers he produced and directed a string of television and cinema commercials for the domestic and International markets and was awarded an RTS and D&AD Silver for his Channel 4 promotional work, and a New York Film Festival, Best International Cinama Commercial award for the advertising agency Delaney Fletcher Bozell.
Work within this company developed Glenn’s craft skills in the use and development of production and post-production techniques, including the use of S/FX, animation, CGI and animatronics.
Since then, he has worked as a freelance director of factual and arts programmes, and as a commercials director.
His most recent project, the major BBC Natural History drama documentary series ‘Monsters We Met’, was shown on BBC2 and Discovery Channel. His work as Creative Consultant combined the direction of drama, CGI and animatronics into the final composited programme imagery. The series was rewarded with a CGI Animation award at the prestigious Jackson Hole Natural History Film Festival.
