Gabriel Carrer

Gabriel Carrer (PGC) is a Canadian writer/director/producer. He carries an absorbing fleet of styles, making them appealing to independent and mainstream cinema.

At the age of 23 he directed his first feature, an ultra low budget film titled Desperate Souls. Years later, his uncompromising mentality allowed him to direct Kill for international distributor TROMA, and If A Tree Falls and in 2011 he produced/directed In the House of Flies, which placed rock icon and social commentator, Henry Rollins as the antagonist.

His 2010 film, If A Tree Falls, had its world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival. The film was conceived to be a stylized throwback 70’s genre film and considering it’s low budget, the film quickly became notable in certain cult film circles, including with SHOCK STOCK patrons. The film utilizes present day sensibilities relevant to the standards of today’s psychological thrillers and horror films. The entire film was produced, shot, edited, scored and directed by Gabriel. It was written by Ryan Barrett who also stars in the film.

He is also part of Latefox Pictures.

In 2011, Carrer and filmmaker Chad Archibald formed Black Fawn Distribution, a company devoted to film distribution across Canada.
