Elizabeth and Gabriel just returned from the jungle in Brazil, where they were shooting an experimental feature starring themselves. They’re still hallucinating!
Coming up in 2013, Elizabeth will direct the narrative feature WHITE GIRL, from her own screenplay. Gabriel will produce; Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (Catfish) will executive-produce. Gabriel recently scripted the viral short doc A Brief History of John Baldessari, narrated by Tom Waits; it was at the New York Film Festival 2012. Elizabeth recently earned a Masters in Film with a Screenwriting Fellowship at Columbia University.
Elizabeth’s short LOFT (2011) premiered at the Dallas International Film Festival, and went on to Beverly Hills, the Hamptons, New Orleans, Calgary, and other festivals. It is now available from IndieFlix Films on DVD and download. Elizabeth’s photography and videos are here: www.woodelizabeth.com
Gabriel’s short HOW IT ENDED (2011), starring 3-time Oscar nominee Debra Winger, Larry Pine, and Halley Feiffer, played at Sarasota, the Hamptons, Newport Beach, and New Orleans among other festivals, and won the Jury Prize at the 41st USA Film Festival. The film is available from Film Movement on DVD and online.
Elizabeth and Gabriel have worked together since 2005 from their headquarters at Bank Street Films in New York City. Their first feature, the documentary WADE IN THE WATER, CHILDREN (2008), was born after six months teaching filmmaking to kids in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The film is available from IndiePix Films and Cinema Guild and through iTunes, Amazon, and everywhere else. Newsday called the film “Scalding Stuff.”
Bank Street Films has produced and directed creative, educational, industrial, and music-video content of all flavors. Talk to us.
