is a production company focused on horror and thriller media founded in 2022 by Gabe Braxton
LEADERSHIP
CEO and FOUNDER
Gabe Braxton was born and raised south of Seattle in Washington State, but currently resides in the picturesque Commonwealth of Virginia. Traveling the US and abroad shaped who he is today, but let’s be real, so did rap music and Nintendo 64.
As a Black man raised in a diverse suburban community, Gabe's upbringing influences his work heavily. An ex-Christian, an ex-Police Officer: these elements manifest as mystery and religious trauma in his work.
Most importantly he's a dad to two daughters, 10 and 9, who enjoy bossing him around (but he doesn't care because they have him wrapped around their fingers).
In 2015, Gabe created a YouTube channel and grew it to over 500 subscribers in three years. In 2018, he decided to focus on narrative screenwriting and wrote and directed his first short film. He went on to write and direct four more self-produced short films from 2020-2023, and wrote four feature films. His scripts have placed in multiple contests from Quarterfinalists to Finalist.
In 2021, Gabe wrote his 5th horror feature film called A Gettysburg Haunting. Back then he planned to film it himself using his own mirrorless camera. Since then, he successfully crowdfunded $15k, and his project was picked up for production by Wolfshoulder Films out of the UK. Principal photography took place over the course of three weeks in September 2023. The production is currently coming up on the finish line in post-production. Our production budget is currently sitting at over 10x what was crowdfunded.
Gabe's always been an artist. Not only has he produced films, but he's also written, recorded, and produced his own music, and is currently working on an EP.
Tom Schrack was born and raised on Long Island, where he spent most of his youth exploring his little clamming town by bike, boat, and skateboard. With both land and sea as his playground, Tom developed a strong sense of adventure that continues to fuel his work.
After graduating from James Madison University, Tom became a world-traveling fraud investigator for a major consulting firm in Washington, DC. But after years of boardrooms and burnouts, he snatched his soul back from corporate America, helped launch a hospitality tech company, and put his heart into writing movies he needs to see on the big screen.
PRESIDENT
In 2019, Tom picked up his skateboard again and finished writing his first feature. Since then, he's been writing and producing nonstop. Highlights include: co-producing the feature A Gettysburg Haunting; writing and directing his first short, S.K.A.T.E.; creating and hosting the podcast The Second Act for a studio; developing a crime-thriller series for a production company; and becoming a “go-to” writer for a career Hollywood director. One of his animated projects is currently under a shopping agreement with an animation studio.
Tom is proudly represented by Citizen Skull Management. When he’s not writing or producing, you’ll find him skateboarding, hanging with his two young boys, or heading “home” to New York.
