Art at its inception.
Gabe Sheets is a young writer/director/editor bent on emotional storytelling on a big scale. He started at the age of six, making small videos with an iPod. He has since grown to do many small projects and finally his first full blown short film. He has a strong passion for everything he does in the industry, including writing, directing and editing. Gabe has written quite a few screenplays in the past several years. He never stops writing and probably never will.
Gabe has always found directing interesting. That wonder never left his mind of how the brilliant narrative came to the screen. His passion for filmmaking started with directing and cinematography. Overall, Gabe is a perfectionist. He knows what he wants and isn't afraid to find a way to get there. Gabe started editing at a young age. He wanted to find a way to turn his iPod videos into a true movie. It all started with Windows Movie Maker and iMovie. He has since upgraded to adobe premiere pro. Gabe has always been interested in the pacing of films and finds technology facinating. Luckily those two come together perfectly with editing. Since he has the vision, he should be the one to have control of the final cut. At least that's what he says. |
In his own words
I’m a true perfectionist who worries that my ideas might not translate well on screen, or that they may not be as good I personally might think. But my fears; this voice in the back of my head can’t silence the excitement that I get by just closing my eyes and seeing the film play in my head.
I would describe my creative process like dreaming. I feel dreams are bits and pieces of our ‘perception’ of reality, sewn into strings of stories. Sometimes dreams jump ahead. Sometimes they stay contained within their own scene. Sometimes dreams don’t make sense, and other can feel like the most real thing you’ve ever experienced. But there is one thing that stays consistent with every dream. It’s the one thing that convinces our minds that maybe even for a split second, it’s real. It’s emotion that grounds a dream, and its emotion that demands that we cry in a scene of a film. And my goal is to make my audience ‘FEEL’ something through the work I creates.
That’s why I truly love making films… Because if you can convince an audience that a string of nonsensical events matter, then you have the power to influence them. I feel filmmaking ultimately gives us the power to ask questions about the world we live in and why it is the way it is without demanding answers.
