[2] In 2008, he produced and directed the feature documentary "NoBody's Perfect", which follows von Glasow as he looks for eleven people who, like him, were born disabled due to the disastrous side effects of thalidomide, and who are prepared to pose nude for a calendar of photos.

An effective campaign resulted in the German government's decision to raise monthly compensation (which will amount to over €2.7 billion over the next 30 years) for the 2,700 surviving victims of thalidomide in Germany.

NoBody's Perfect, the documentary about the making of this calendar, won the German Film Award and resulted in a campaign for the victims of thalidomide.

His next film, "Everything Will Be Alright", documents the making of a unique live theatre production, which von Glasow wrote and developed.

Von Glasow also runs a charity for girls' education and the arts, working chiefly in East Asia.
