In addition to his extensive background as a producer, Mr. Glascoe is also an accomplished and experienced writer. Many of the projects Cypress has produced, including A Child's Christmas in Wales, The Sound and the Silence, Harrison Bergeron and Cherry, were either written, co-written or re-written by Mr. Glascoe.  He has recently completed his first original theatrical screenplay, In the Pines.

Prior to joining Cypress, Mr. Glascoe was Executive Producer for National Programming at WTTW in Chicago, the nation's largest public television station, where he oversaw numerous productions, including Bud Greenspan's hugely acclaimed film 16 Days of Glory.

Earlier in his career he was a Senior Producer and Head Writer for Nightcap, a literary roundtable hosted by Studs Terkel and Calvin Trillin which aired weekly on A & E; a writer for the short-lived Satellite News Channel (a precursor of CNN), producer of the highly successful Dr. Ruth Show for Lifetime; and an associate at The Nation magazine.

Mr. Glascoe is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Middlebury College. He is a rotisserie baseball fanatic, a farm owner, an avid poker player, a scotch drinker, a dog lover and an enemy of fashion.

After a decade in Manhattan, he, his wife and their fearsome city pooch live in the outer boroughs of Montclair, New Jersey.
EvenHand, which he executive produced, is his third feature film.

Fernando recently wrapped production on a feature film, Speeder Kills, a digital feature about a female punk rock band in San Antonio, directed by Jim Mendiola (the second project that Fernando & Jim had teamed up to do). Currently, Fernando is producing a project which is Jesse Borrego's big-screen directorial debut, a feature-length film entitled Once Upon a Bullet... Having already attracted the talented Danny Trejo and Enrique "Kiki" Castillo to play the leads, they are now in negotiations with a number of banks, distribution, and completion guarantee companies to pave the way for production within the year.

Fernando is also fortunate to have worked on several "Hollywood" films which came through the Central Texas area, the most notable of which include: Selena, The Newton Boys, All the Pretty Horses and Miss Congeniality. These experiences allowed Fernando to work alongside some big-named talent and directors, from Edward James Olmos and Matt Damon to Billy Bob Thornton and Gregory Nava, to name a few.

While at the University of Texas in Austin, Fernando co-founded Yerba Buena Productions (YBP), a film production company formed to produce films by, for, and about Latinos. After producing a few shorts, including El Diablo, El Baile, and El Sueño de Simon, YBP produced the feature film Pain Flower. Around this same time, while at the CineSol Film Festival in South Padre Island, actor/director Jesse Borrego coined the term "La Nueva Onda" to refer to the flurry of independent Latino filmmaking in South Texas, of which YBP had become a major player.

One of YBP's projects, Barbacoa….The Movie, directed by Mike & Gibby Cevallos, has been recently picked up by the Nickelodeon Channel and made into a new TV series entitled The Brothers Garcia. More recently, YBP has developed programs for the non-Spanish speaking U.S. Latino television audience. From this, Skits-O-Frenia, a Saturday Night Live Latino-style comedy variety show, was born. Skits-O-Frenia has had an incredibly successful "live practice run," including performances in the BIG STINKIN' Improv Festival (sponsored by Comedy Central) in Austin and the LATINO LAUGH Festival in San Antonio.

Fernando has served on various film panels, is a noted speaker at universities both domestic and foreign, and continues to give back to the community through his associations with a number of school and youth organizations.
