As a High Honors Journalism Major at NYU, Gabriella traveled back to her roots in Cuba to complete her Senior Thesis. Following two young musicians in the urban music scene of Havana, she documents the social, political, and economic hardship these young men face under a communist regime and a future of uncertainty.

This film explores our most simple human instinct: to dream. But what does it mean to dream in a place that denies you that freedom? When dreaming itself feels like an act of defiance?

En La Habana También Soñamos is a story of friendship, of music, and of hope. Hope, that even in a world that tries to rid you of it, you can continue to find a way to keep those dreams alive.

Starring Rain Spencer (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Jackson Kelly (The Pitt), One Night is a film of two college students who fall in love over the course of one special night — brief, electric, and impossibly human. In a generation raised behind screens, connection can feel out of reach, sometimes even impossible. But what happens when two people find that spark, only to face the reality that, by morning, they must return to the world as it was?

Gabriella produced this film alongside writer/directors sibling duo Maggie and Tyler Brown, united by a shared vision to capture the rare intimacy of connection in its most fleeting form. Together, they brought to life a story that feels both timeless and unmistakably of this generation.
