General info :
Richard Glatzer (January 28, 1952, Queens, New York, U.S. – March 10, 2015 (aged 63) Los Angeles, California) was an American writer and director.
He entered the film world in the mid-1980s working under the tutelage of Jay and Lewis Allen.
He worked on TV shows such as Divorce Court, The Osbournes, and America's Next Top Model.
Glatzer's first independent film was Grief (1993), a comedy-drama focusing on a writer for a trashy daytime TV show who comes to grips with office politics, a co-worker crush and homophobia. It premiered at San Francisco's Frameline Festival where it won the Audience Award for Best Picture. It then went on to Toronto, where it was picked out by former LA Weekly critic Manhola Dargis as one of the festival highlights. It starred Craig Chester, Illeana Douglas, Alexis Arquette, Jackie Beat, Carlton Wilborn, and Lucy Gutteridge.
Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland were a married writing and directing team based in Los Angeles who made an eclectic set of independent movies.
Their most recent film, Still Alice premiered at Toronto 2014 and was considered the surprise hit of the festival. The movie was picked up by Sony Pictures Classics, who released the film in December 2014.
Glatzer lost his life to ALS and some critics have suggested a connection between his own battle with illness and the raw, honest depiction of illness in the film.
