Gary has been making films since he was fourteen, but his official career began in editorial at Warner Brothers Hollywood in the late nineties.

In 2005, his first 35mm short film Wow and Flutter screened at more than forty film festivals world-wide, including Austin, AFI, Hamptons, Flickerfest and Gen Art in NYC. This success led to a feature film production — his award-winning baseball comedy Calvin Marshall (2010) starring Steve Zahn. He followed this with the tender drama Redwood Highway (2013) starring film legends Shirley Knight and Tom Skerritt.

In 2016, Joma Films launched a Kickstarter to finance the experimental, neo-noir indie Black Road, closely followed by his Lui-G Films boxing short Concrete Canvas.

Gary’s most recent feature is Phoenix, Oregon (2020). The mid-life crisis comedy stars James Le Gros, Jesse Borrego and Lisa Edelstein. Variety called it “the sort of movie a lot of us need right now.” The movie was released online by Aspiration Entertainment during the pandemic, after playing film festivals and touring the United States in 2019.
