The two formed Fox Run Productions[1] and produced the film Lust in the Dust starring Hunter, Divine, & Lainie Kazan.[2][3] Released in 1985, the film was a hit and landed Glaser a production deal back at Fox on his next film Sorority Confidential, written by Patricia Resnick, writer of the film 9 to 5.

Between his feature film work, Glaser has worked as a production executive for several major studios.
