Bio

Glenn Weston Jr. is a filmmaker, visual storyteller, editor, animator, creative technologist, and founder of XATITI Network LLC. Born in Kansas City and raised primarily in St. Joseph, Missouri, Glenn also spent meaningful time in Seattle beginning in his youth, where he gained additional experiences and perspectives that helped shape his creativity and vision.

Through his community-centered series, If You Know… You Know…, Glenn preserves the people, places, businesses, traditions, and memories that helped shape St. Joseph. The series combines archival photographs, historical research, cinematic visuals, music, animation, and heartfelt storytelling to reconnect longtime residents with familiar memories while introducing local history to younger generations.

Glenn also created Uncle Dookie, a warm, humorous animated community story guide who helps bring St. Joseph’s history to life. Uncle Dookie originally comes from The Westin Way, an animated family-comedy series currently in development through XATITI Network. Within If You Know… You Know…, the character serves as a time-walking narrator and observer who guides audiences through important community stories while keeping the historical subject at the center.

Before the widespread growth of modern artificial-intelligence tools, Glenn was already developing his creative abilities through filmmaking, editing, 3D design, Blender, Unreal Engine, DAZ 3D, and other production technologies. Today, he combines traditional production methods with carefully selected AI-assisted tools and completes his work primarily through DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Through XATITI Network, Glenn’s larger mission is to create meaningful films, animation, documentaries, television programming, technology, and opportunities that preserve community history, celebrate underrepresented voices, inspire future generations, and connect local stories to a global audience.
