Gabriel's first starring role is in a movie called "My Suicide".
Gabe contributed writing and served as a chief editor on the movie. It has won a series of major awards at prominent film festivals. It has been chosen to
screen at Berlin, SXSW, Gen Art, Newport Beach, San Francisco, and Seattle Film Festivals with more screenings to come in the future.
Gabe flew to Berlin for the Berlin Film Fest, the largest in the world. Along with the My Suicide gang including Director David Lee Miller, lead actress Brooke Nevin and virtually all of the talented technical crew, the American team were stunned to win recognition. The film was awarded the highly prized Crystal Bear award in the category reserved for movies directed at younger audiences. Gabe and the team were highly complimentary about the festival’s well organized presentation. They also found the German locals welcoming and quite interested in “My Suicide”. A few weeks later Gabe, David, Brooke and, again, almost all of production crew flew to Austin, TX for South By Southwest or SXSW or just “South By” as the attendees call it. “My Suicide” played three times at the festival gaining some of the largest and most excited audiences. A red carpet welcome at the truly gorgeous Paramount Theater kicked off South By for the Suicide crew. The screening received an enormous ovation. Gabe, his family and plenty of friends did up the town down Sixth Street. A highlight for Gabe was being reunited with Wavy Gravy and Mrs. Gravy Jahanara for the premier of Wavy’s unique documentary “Saint Misbehavin’” Then back to Los Angeles for a brief breather and then off to New York city for the prestigious Gen Art Film Festival. Gen Art is special because only 7 films are selected, each one running on its own day. “My Suicide” ran on day four and to the complete astonishment of the Suicide crew, the film swept three major honors: The juried award for Best Picture, the audience award for Favorite Picture and Gabe won the Stargazer Award for Outstanding Young Actor!
