[edit] Biography

After Gabe graduated from USC School of Cinematic Arts, he made pilots with whatever camera and whatever money he could scrounge.^{[citation needed]} His first attempt was a sketch comedy show which he made on location with friends, an old video camera and about a hundred dollars worth of fast food. This first attempt caught the eye of Jim Abrahams of Airplane/Kentucky Fried Movie /Police Squad fame who told him that if he was able to produce an entire show with only hundred dollars and an old camera, then he should go to the next level and try and borrow better equipment.^{[citation needed]}

Gabe went to New York, got some friends together, and borrowed better equipment. The result was Street Match, a pilot entirely made on spec, which abc picked up as a summer series. Soon after, Gabe shot his next show Pranks where he met his current writing/producing partner Jeff Judah. They wrote the pilot Damian Cromwell’s Postcards From America under a deal at HBO and soon after Sachs Judah Productions was formed.

Gabe and Jeff have been writing/producing and show running for the past 10 years. They have had a deal at Touchstone Television for the past 2 years and just re-signed with them for another 3 years in June. Sachs Judah is located at The Disney Studios.
