Experience

Carter Glascock has always felt the best way to express his amazement at his surroundings is to write it down enthusiastically and accurately. Starting out as a stand-up comedian and culture writer for the school newspaper while in college in Alabama, he soon moved to internships with local advertising firms and radio shows after moving home to Birmingham. As he further pursued touring as a musician and standup, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he became enamored with screenwriting and got involved with film productions all over the Southeast. After moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment, Carter began contributing to the noted arts and culture publication, New Noise. He also works in the California wine industry at a tasting room in Malibu. His thirst for adventure continues to drive him as he explores the bountiful luxuries of California wine country, hiking all over the state's gorgeous landscapes and traveling domestically and abroad.

Education

Carter graduated from the University of Alabama in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in journalism. He then graduated from Watkins School of Art, Design, and Film in Nashville with a certificate in screenwriting in 2013.
