Gabriel Sakoda is a young filmmaker and photographer from Chicago.

My favorite films are always the ones where every aspect of the filmmaking is visible. How directors, writers, cinematographers, editors, musicians and actors work together to tell unique messages inspires me to hone my craft and understand all aspects of cinema. I dream of making films where every element works in synchronicity to create an opus worth analyzing from all angles.

Currently, I am working on adapting a short story, a thrilling action flick and a cerebral horror film.
