About Candice

Candice Cain is the founder and owner of Gemelli Films, as well as the writer and director of a dozen feature films, three television series and one short-form special series. The second season of her series WELCOME TO HOPE will be released on PureFlix July 1, 2022.

A very unique quality one will find in Candice’s writing style is that she is not married to any specific genre. Her first film “What Happened Last Night” is a college comedy, but other films include a romantic comedy (“Days Like This”), a holiday drama (“Christmas for Three”) and an action-thriller (“Seventh Inning Stretch”), among others. For her Holiday films, Candice uses her nickname “Candy Cain.”

Candice attributes her diverse writing style to her Dramatic Literature degree at The George Washington University in Washington, DC (BA ’98), as well as to the fact that she has lived in twelve different states and 36 different cities. She has traveled quite a bit, and pulls her stories from her personal experiences.

Four children plays written by Candice are exclusively sold by Concord Theatricals: “The Lion & The Mouse,” “The Lovesick Cat,” “The Woodsmen & The Fairy” and “The Tortoise & The Hare.” Whenever one of her plays is produced in the United States, she does what she can to attend the performance. If a school is doing a production of one of her plays, Candice is known to reach out to the theater director and volunteer to meet with students during rehearsals to encourage them to pursue different avenues within the arts, whether as a hobby or as a career.

Candice has a vast background in theater. She has directed countless productions, including the productions of her own scripts at The George Washington University and in various community and regional theaters around the country. She directed her very first full-length stage production at the tender age of nineteen.

Married to a police lieutenant since 2005, Candice and her husband, Craig, have fourteen year old twins named Catherine and Charles. She and her family live in Brookhaven Hamlet, NY in the house where Candice grew up.
