Film Set

Fabian Cabrera

Filmmaker, writer, and all-around storyteller.

I'm a Chicago native and a recent graduate of Columbia College Chicago. I write and direct my own films, but I also dabble in writing and music. I’m definitely a geek; I know everything there is to know about fantasy, mythology, monsters, and even some history, so if you want to make an epic adventure movie set during the Roman Empire or a slasher flick in a summer camp, then shoot me an email. When not writing or filming, I spend the rest of my time playing Dungeons & Dragons and listening to heavy metal.

About Me

I’m a writer, director, musician, and most importantly, a storyteller. From an early age,  I've used fiction to escape the real world. I love tales of exciting adventures, terrifying monsters, and all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Whether dark and brooding, epic and romantic, my work is always dramatic and verges on the sensational. My genre of choice is speculative fiction: the triple threat of horror, fantasy, and science-fiction. Essentially, if I can’t experience it in real life, then I’m into it. I love feeling excited when watching movies, and therefore I want my own stories to do the same: Excite and inspire people, but not at the expense of art; I want my work to be thought-provoking and timeless as well. 

I know these stories can be effective tools for examining real themes and issues, and that's exactly what I want to use them for. To confront fantasy with reality. Genres like fantasy and science fiction conjure images of elaborate sets and CGI, but I’ve made low budget speculative fiction my niche. I can be versatile, and I don’t need a massive budget to do it. As long as the important themes are there, it’ll work. Because of this, my methods are definitely DIY. I don’t let money or inexperience limit me; instead of waiting for the perfect moment, I’d rather go out and do it now.
