Glenn Rockowitz (b. May 27, 1970, Plainview, New York), is an American writer, filmmaker and comedian who wrote and directed the cult independent film Hacks in 2002. The film garnered many festival awards including Best Comedy at The New York Film Festival; Best Picture at the Chicago Digital Film Festival; and Best Picture at the Orinda Film Festival outside of San Francisco.

A graduate of Chicago’s famed Second City, Rockowitz went on to write for NBC’s venerable Saturday Night Live in 1993. Two years later, he founded a nonprofit AIDS and cancer charity in NYC, known as The Best Medicine Group—an organization that brought hundreds of live comedy shows into the homes of terminally-ill patients throughout the metropolitan New York area.

In March 1998 Rockowitz founded Keep Your Receipt, an irreverent line of greeting cards designed to provide steady funding for several cancer charities including the American Cancer Society and Gilda’s Club.
