Biography

Gabriel is the staff filmmaker & photographer at the Skoll Foundation where he helps tell stories of social change agents around the world.

He got started working in video at age 13 at KDOL-TV in Oakland, CA, and then went on to study theater at Trinity Rep Conservatory. He was Creative Director of the Youth Sounds’ “Factory", an advanced filmmaking lab for Bay Area youth. Works created under his mentorship won top prizes at dozens of national festivals, including an Emmy. He was an adjunct professor of film production at San Francisco State University.

His indie narrative feature film "Less" is an urban fairytale about a man who has chosen to live on the streets in San Francisco. It received an honorable mention for the Grand Jury prize at the Dances With Films Festival.

His short documentary “We Are In The Field: Adventures of a Nepalese Environmental Activist” has played in numerous festivals.

In his personal work as a social artist, Gabriel co-created the Vulnerable Rally as a radical experiment—blending street theatre, shadow work, community building, and social/political commentary.
