Gabe is currently studying film production with an emphasis in editing and is enrolled in program called Community Voices - a documentary filmmaking course that partners students with various non-profit organizations across Orange County and culminates in a 10-15 minute documentary film.
The initial goal is to produce a short promo video that the organization can use for it’s own purposes, but the actual documentary is character - based and is not produced in conjunction with the organization - the only requirement is that it be related to the social issue/cause the organization is championing.
His team has been partnered with the Orange County Alzheimer’s Association, and the team asked to make their documentary about Gregory and my story. Gabe says, "The way you've taken care of Greg is touching in way I can't quite describe in words, suffice to say that I think your story has to potential to inspire and give hope to a lot of people. I think we have the resources to do your story justice, and I think it's a story that needs to be told."
Once the films are completed they don't just stay in the classroom - they run on PBS and screen at various film festivals, how exciting is that?
