Hello, My name is Gabriel Duran and I am an award winning filmmaker that strives to tell compelling stories through my artwork.As a filmmaker I have been shooting films that mostly deal with my heritage as a Latino. I grew up with grand parents that spoke little English I was able to feel good about what I learned from them. They helped me keep my Spanish to an "acceptable" level. Since their passing I have found it difficult to reconnect to my language. So as a means to put my self back into that familiar place I have been shooting my projects all in Spanish. Doing so brings me back to who I am and what I need to reconnect myself. I use my art and my story telling to express my ideas to the world. I make my films about who I am and where I come from. I want to show the world a side of us that usually is over looked. I want to breathe new life into the underrepresented Chicano experience and bring the audience closer to me through my stories. I desire to use storytelling as a tool to bring the audience into my world, a world that mainstream media ignores, or when it does "shed-light" on it, it's done from a stereotypical outsiders point of view. Debunking those stereotypes and connecting with people emotionally is the reason I make films.
