Topic: Gabe Gomez – 22 year old, millennial film-maker
Something interesting happened with today’s buzz. I was reading a popular blog this morning by Ruby Pseudo, where she highlighted ‘23 young adults to watch out for’. As I was reading through her list, one name rang familiar to me – Gabe Gomez. So I went back in the community archives and low and behold, there was Gabe’s name. One of our NY community members went to school with Gabe and was promoting his work for him. Gabe directed , edited and produced a full length film – called “The Spot”. I checked out the trailer only, but was blown away by the depth of the storyline. I put out the link to the community and they really responded well to Gabe’s talented piece. When I saw Ruby’s list and Gabe was on it, I had to feature him in today’s buzz!
‘The Spot’ is a coming to age film of a teen coming to grips with parental abandonment.
Check out his trailer on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iccUe1In9eI
What our community members said about Gabe and his trailer:
“Wow, this trailer was very relatable. I can’t believe a 22 year old did this! So impressive! I would love to see someone like him break out and become famous. Keep me posted on anything else he comes out with.” – Dean, 19
“I want to see the full movie now! Where can I check that out. Wow, I got chills with the story and it was shot really well. I am a film major and was really inspired to see something of this quality come out from someone my age.” – John, 21
“Um, I am speechless! I want to see this movie! There are not enough of movies that capture the life of teen problems. It’s all fairy-tale and that is just stupid. Life many times does not follow the happily-ever-after theme.” – Jess, 18
