About Gia

I've come a long way over the past decade and I still have a long way to go.

My journey in the industry started as a young adult filming a few little things. Nothing too spectacular. When my daughter was young, she wanted to be on TV and as a mother, I had no desire to introduce her to the industry. but, over time, I gave in and signed her up to do background work. I wanted her to see the long hours on the road and on set. The hurry and wait that occurs as well as all the negative that goes with it. Needless to say, that did not work. She entered into the industry doing principal work and has been successful. Me, well I became the momager and I have to admit. I enjoyed meeting new people. After a while, I was offered a job as a talent agent and of course, being the person I am, I jumped on the opportunity. I spent many years doing this all the while, writing films and our TV show, Abbott Falls. After leaving the agency, I spent a few years as a casting director. Today, I spend all of my time producing and writing my own content. I love every minute that I spent being creative and getting into the minds of my characters.

Unique traits: Administrative minded, organized and full of sarcasm.
