Glenn Kalison
With deep roots in the entertainment industry, KSe is a partner to educational institutions, training programs, and corporate clients that wish to create transformational video content and drive specific outcomes.
Bringing two decades of experience creating, building and operating entertainment industry-focused schools and training programs around the world in large-scale production environments, KSe is the go-to partner for tier one studios on local talent development, business development, regulatory process, program operation and greenfield launches.
With two decades of experience in education and a proven track record of success in the media and entertainment industry, Glenn is the founding President of Relativity Media's education offshoot and, subsequently, Founder of Studio School in Los Angeles -- the first and only accredited college, with its campus located on a working studio lot, created with a motion picture studio. Under his vision, the campus was imagined and built greenfield, from scratch, and gained its initial regulatory approvals to operate.
Under Glenn's leadership, Studio School (since renamed to Hussian College in Studio), was recognized by Variety in its Education Impact Report as a top Film School of 2019 and 2020, noting it as "...one of Los Angeles’ leading institutions for aspiring entertainment professionals... industry professionals prepare students for diverse, ever-evolving workplace challenges." Studio School also achieved recognition from The Wrap and The Hollywood Reporter as many of its graduates today are firmly entrenched in entertainment related careers.
He launched the production company, Studio Sidecar Productions, as a subsidiary to incubate rising talent and foster student opportunities alongside professional productions.
Glenn has since collaborated to build programs across the world in China, Africa, Curacao and with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He established a ground-breaking partnership with the union, IATSE Local 480 of New Mexico, to create a Below-The-Line film crew training program under the guided mentorship of veteran film crafts-people. Glenn has become an expert in connecting employment communities to program graduates.
Glenn's executive leadership role at Relativity coincided with more than 25 theatrical releases from directors that included Scott Cooper, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Peter Chelsom, Lasse Hallstrom, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He trailblazed collaborations across the studio with Academy-Award winning producer Robbie Brenner, Studio head and film producer, Tucker Tooley, Emmy-winning TV producer, Tom Forman, sports executive/film producer, Happy Walters, and many more. Glenn has worked in multiple creative roles in front of and behind the camera, as a producer, director, and as a trained professional actor with an MFA from the University of California, Irvine's Claire Trevor School of the Arts. He spent 16 years in New York working on Law & Order episodes, commercials, other film, TV, and theatre projects while collaborating with some of the world's great talents including Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, John Turturro, Donald Glover, Aubrey Plaza, Ellie Kemper, Epatha Merkerson, Carol Kane and Natasha Lyonne.
