Gabe Gentry Arkansas Filmmaker

“I believe in the power of a well-told story. Since the earliest days of humanity, storytelling has been our most enduring tool for remembering, teaching, influencing, and, above all, connecting.”

Gabe is a visual storyteller with over 20 years of experience in video production and photography, driven by a passion for connecting people through meaningful stories. After earning a degree in digital film production, he joined Arkansas PBS as Executive Producer of their World War II Oral Histories Project, In Their Words. Over five years, he and an archiving team preserved more than 500 hours of firsthand interviews with veterans. From these testimonies, they produced an award-winning documentary and educational website, which premiered alongside Ken Burns’ PBS series The War.

From 2009 to 2019, Gabe worked as a freelance producer, shooter, and editor, focusing on documentary and nonprofit advocacy films. His work took him around the world—including a 2014 reporting assignment inside Iraq covering the rise of ISIS for Al Jazeera News. Back home, he served in leadership roles within Arkansas’s film community, serving as Festival Director of the 2015 Little Rock Film Festival and Director of Events for the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival from 2013 to 2017.

In 2019, Gabe joined Winrock International as a video producer and international photographer based in Washington, D.C. There, he documented the organization’s work across some of the world’s most complex challenges in underreported regions. His visual storytelling brought attention to frontline efforts in climate resilience and sustainable agriculture, helping elevate the voices of those most affected by environmental and economic shifts.

Across platforms—social media, broadcast, or digital—Gabe brings care, curiosity, and craft to every stage of the process. He works closely with clients from concept to delivery, leading teams, managing global productions, and helping secure funding for stories that matter.
