Gabriel Gasparinatos is an ARIA, Walkley, and ADG nominated filmmaker in Sydney. Gabriel’s debut feature documentary, the Netflix Original ONEFOUR: AGAINST ALL ODDS was released worldwide in October 2023. Critic Margaret Pomeranz described it as “an incendiary and powerful film that provokes both outrage and compassion. A cautionary tale for those of us opposed to censorship and discriminatory police powers.”
The film was nominated for the Walkley Award for Best Documentary, the AACTA Award For Best Editing, and the ADG Award for Best Direction in a Debut Feature. It was on NME’s top 10 Australian films of 2023 list, and landed on #2 in Netflix Australia upon release. The documentary was introduced into the Sydney University law syllabus, and led to a reckoning with police powers in Australia. NSW Police attempted to shut down the global SXSW Sydney premiere in 2023, enforcing a pay-for-policing tactic that involved metal detectors on entry, plain clothes police officers in the audience, all attendees being frisked, and restricted the festival from selling individual tickets.

Gabriel is currently in development on a slate of documentary and scripted projects, including his debut scripted feature, NOOKY’S HEIST for GoodThing Productions, with development support from Screen Australia and Screen NSW.
