SUMMARY ENP #19 Blog Gabrielle Rosson // She Dares … On the 19th episode of Evolution Now, our guest is Gabrielle Rosson. We talk about filmmaking, building community and her newest film project, She Who Dared. 0:00 – 11:04 Our work as artists. The group discusses how the journey of development is the destination for the artist. By enjoying the work, you progress and evolve. Gabby talks about how creating is who she is and the organic and fluid nature of her creativity. Her journey in filmmaking has involved knocking on a lot of doors and walking through the ones that open. She goes deeper about the process of creation and how creative works exist outside us and we tap into them as a type of translator. Early inspiration. Gabby touches upon her childhood and music career as the precursor to her filmmaking career. She finds inspiration from her children and how paying attention to what they are interested in works into her process. A self-professed lock-key kid, TV was a constant babysitter that planted the seeds for storytelling within her. Her mother also played a key role in shaping her artistic journey and by living in LA as a child Gabby was able to separate the difference between fame and getting to make art. 11:05 – 19:24 JJ talks about some of the similarities he shared in early childhood. The group touches back to the topic of LA, Hollywood and the influence of pop culture. The conversation then moves on to the cinema and how despite the popularity of streaming networks, it shall never die. Gabby’s first creative spark. College was the perfect place to allow Gabby’s true bold nature to emerge. After her ‘lost decade’ she began to put the pieces of her life in order. College not only helped her find her voice, it helped her to use it. She talks about the origin of her career in film and breaks down the essentials of filmmaking. 19:25 – 27:25 Bold nature. A lot of her story involves her taking risks and refusing to quit. She tells us how starting the creative process is synonymous with the learning process. Damien talks about his and Gabby’s working experience and then the role that pain has played in her art. Essential in the entire role of progression as an artist is failure. Gabby holds the belief that failure was the thing that allowed her to grow. Another big part of who Gabrielle Rosson is, is her ability to build and foster community. It’s her need for family and her desire to see others own their boldness that helps her bring like-minds together. The group talks about the positives gained from groups, the importance of networking, and the love she gets from building her chosen family. 27:26 – 35:10 Lois Weber. Gabby dives into her upcoming event and the importance of Lois Weber, the woman whom her upcoming project, She Who Dared, centers on. And despite many things going against her, the opportunity to begin this journey of telling Lois’ story presented itself. It was after a chance call with another New England artist that opened Gabby’s eyes to making it happen. She goes over the initial thought process which led to her attack plan and how it has attracted all the right people and grown larger over time. 35:11 – 44:23 Gabby talks about her October screening event and the challenges of having a live orchestra play alongside her 23 minute proof of concept short film, She Who Dared. The conversation shifts back to the value of networking. Gabby reveals her underlying motivations for telling Lois’ story.
