Glenn Douglas Packard is a choreographer, dancer, reality television star, recording artist and film director born in Detroit, MI. He starred on two seasons of the VH1 reality series Brooke Knows Best. Packard made his directorial debut with the slasher film Pitchfork (film), which was released in January 2017 As a choreographer, Packard earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for his work on the Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Special. His choreography has also appeared in the televised "Lance Loves Michael Wedding Special" for former N'Sync member Lance Bass, various music videos and the Bollywood film "Rhythm." Packard also established a professional dance company, The INstitute of Dancers, in 2017. It is located in Lansing, Michigan. As a choreographer, Packard has worked with some of biggest names in pop music, from Pink and Usher to Whitney Houston and Liza Minnelli. Perhaps his most recognized work is the Emmy-nominated artistic direction for "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson. Shortly after his 2002 Emmy nomination, Packard was scouted by pop music entrepreneur Lou Pearlman, manager of Backstreet Boys, N'Sync and many other successful boy bands. He joined the group twONEty (21), which toured Europe extensively before disbanding. While working with Pearlman, Packard met then 13-year-old aspiring singer Brooke Hogan, daughter of professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan. In addition to costarring with the younger Hogan for two years on the VH1 reality series Brooke Knows Best, he also choreographed her 2004 music video "Everything to Me." Packard parlayed experience reinventing the Chippendales male revue for its 25th anniversary into a costarring role as choreographer for the E! Network television event Men of the Strip, which focused on the discovery and cultivation of the next great Las Vegas male revue. Currently, Packard owns and mentors the professional dance company, The INstitute of Dancers. It was established in early 2017, and is located in East Lansing, Michigan.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
