Glenn Ficarra (born May 27, 1969) is an American screenwriter, director, and producer. He has frequently collaborated with John Requa. Ficarra is the son of Marianne and Robert F. Ficarra, grandchild of Theresa (née Filippone) and Frank Ficarra, and brother of Chris Ficarra. Ficarra attended St. John Vianney High School in Holmdel Township, New Jersey. Ficarra met John Requa at Pratt Institute, where both were studying film. After college, Requa and Ficarra went to work in animation for the Nickelodeon TV channel. As writers, they wrote the comedy films Cats & Dogs (directed by Lawrence Guterman), Bad Santa (directed by Terry Zwigoff), and Bad News Bears (directed by Richard Linklater). In 2009, they made their directorial debut with their self-penned I Love You Phillip Morris, based on the life of con man Steven Jay Russell. For their writing on this film, Ficarra and Requa received a nomination for the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Their subsequent release was the comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Julianne Moore, again directed by Requa, released in July 2011. With Requa and Charlie Gogolak, he has formed the production company Zaftig Films. The pair also directed Focus, starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, starring Tina Fey and Robbie.It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Read More
