He also writes an indieWIRE Blog, called “Gabe’s Declaration of Principles.” Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Gabe developed an interest in independent film at an early age—his mother can even be seen in John Waters’ Female Trouble, having her monster beehive hair-do teased silly by Dribbles.
