Welcome! I’m Gabrielle Makower. I’m a Writer, Director, Producer, and something between a Californian and a New Yorker. Here’s a bit about my journey.

While at NYU Tisch, I spent two years interning at Saturday Night Live (NBC) in the script department. I then moved to Los Angeles with only an internship and a dream.

After “paying my dues” at the agency, working for a famously challenging talent agent, I went on to work in various support staff roles on THE AFFAIR (Showtime), THE MOSQUITO COAST (Apple TV+), WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS (HBO), and most recently THE STUDIO (Apple TV+).

After experiencing some high highs and low lows over my “due paying” journey, I realized that leadership can make or break a production. The key to great filmmaking is a collaborative, supportive environment.

Knowing I wanted to change the standard for how people are treated in the industry, I founded my production company, Makower Productions, in 2021. Under Makower Productions, I’ve produced short films, music videos, and have over a dozen film & television projects in development.

I am passionate about pioneering change within the landscape of the industry to make it a more inclusive, less toxic place. I am grateful to have landed in a place where I have mentors who lift me up. I hope to pay this forward.
