GABRIELLA ORTEGA RICKETTS

ASSOCIATE PRODUCER/ARCHIVAL PRODUCER

Gabriella is thrilled to be returning to Sundance for her second feature documentary with director Pedro Kos. Her other work includes BENDING THE ARC (Sundance 2017), THEY’LL LOVE ME WHEN I’M DEAD (Telluride 2018), and the Showtime series SHANGRI-LA. A lifelong Angeleno, Gabriella attended Immaculate Heart Middle School, where she experienced firsthand Corita’s lasting influence in the art program. Inspired by the bravery of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart, Gabriella spent the month of October canvassing door-to-door in Philadelphia getting out the vote. As Sister Richard said, “you ought to put your body where your head is...if you really believe something is wrong then it's important to put your body on the line.”
