Gabrielle and I dish on how to be a sneaky creator and get the wheel of creativity moving so much it feels inevitable.
My guest, Gabrielle Thomas, is a Director and Producer based in LA. She works across film, TV, commercials, and music videos as a digital specialist. She was the Creative Director at Alienware and an executive at Skybound Entertainment.
Gabrielle directed the beautiful and dark short film Hunger, which explored our industry's challenging side, and then completely switched gears to direct "God of Work" for G4—a hilarious office mockumentary about video game heroes between gigs.
Gabrielle is an incredibly versatile creative; she has directed stop motion commercials, beautiful music videos, and post-apocalyptic dramas starring children. She produced the podcast "The San Miguel Kidnappings," which was nominated for a CLue Award and featured in Variety. For animation fans, she directed and co-wrote the upcoming live show with the "Spike and Mike Extravaganza," which is hitting theatres soon.
Gabrielle has been an incredible mentor to me, teaching me how to be a great AD and producer when we worked together on Rob Koteki’s psychological thriller “Safe+Sound. And just this past weekend, we were together making high-end athletic apparel look amazing during a night shoot in a warehouse!
Please enjoy my inspiring conversation with my friend, Gabrielle Thomas.
