About the filmmaker:

Glenn Payne is an award winning filmmaker, artist, and improvisational actor. He lives in north Mississippi where he creates artwork and produces independent films with the abundance of local talent Mississippi has to offer. Through his production company, Dead Leaf Productions, Payne has produced and directed over thirty films and fifty commercials and music videos.

Payne studied painting under Brent Funderburk and Jeffrey Haupt at Mississippi State University and crafted his improvisational acting skills with his troupe West of Shake Rag, based in Tupelo, MS, as well as receiving training at Second City and Improv Olympic (iO) in Chicago, IL. Payne has spent time exploring these art forms in both Los Angeles and Chicago but prefers the inspiration of his home state, Mississippi.

THIS CAMP IS A PART OF Wide Horizons, a program of art, science, and action for 8th grade students on the Gulf Coast. The program’s activities blend marine science, environmental history, geography, and multimedia self-expression in order to deepen understanding about the environmental and societal importance of the Gulf of Mexico, its landscapes, and its wildlife.
