Glena (film)

Glena is an American documentary film directed by Emmywinning filmmaker Allan Luebke. The film tells the story of Glena Avila, a single mother who turns to cage fighting to support her family.

Filming of Glena began in November 2010 in Oregon. The movie was shot on a low budget. The main camera used was a Canon XHA1, and a Panasonic DVX100 was used to shoot some early footage. The onemancrew relied on a wireless lavaliere microphone and cameramounted shotgun microphone to capture audio. Available lighting was used almost exclusively, though a cameramounted LitePanels Micro was utilized at times. Luebke, who also edited the film, utilized extensive postproduction techniques including ADR and sound design to create the films elaborate fight sequences.Luebke made use of a 5,000 Kickstarter campaign to raise funds. The Kickstarter campaign was originally intended to pay for two months of editing on a short film version, but the project would ultimately be in production for another three years as a featurelength film was developed. ........
