A dramedy feature/TV writer/director/producer and daughter of a formerly undocumented single mom, Gabby Revilla Lugo started her career with dreams of law school. As life had other plans, She worked for Martin Short on his award-winning Broadway show, Fame Becomes Me, and sharpened her comedy chops there. Gabby then ventured into the independent feature space where she worked with names like Damian Chazelle on his award-winning film, Whiplash. Eventually, she went on to have a successful film career with films including the award-winning hit Palm Springs, Melissa McCarthy's Netflix indie, The Starling, and Fox Searchlight's Next Goal Wins, written and directed by Taika Waititi. Gabby’s writing career took off after graduating from the Fox Writers Program, The Starz writer's program, and The Disney Writers Program. She was staffed on ABC's hit drama, A Million Little Things, and also began teaching screenwriting at the ScriptAnatomy school. In 2021 Gabby sold multiple podcasts and landed a feature film writing job for Mattel and has multiple shows in development including one with Gina Rodriguez and Eugenio Derbez. She most recently sold a reimagining of the beloved John Hughes film, Sixteen Candles, as a television series alongside UCP and OJALA, which is led by award-winning playwright, Tanya Saracho and Selena Gomez. She has also worked with Tanya on the TV series Brujas, and is currently developing a series with Linda Yvette Chavez (Gentefied) on a project for 20th Century Fox.  Lugo is excited to continue telling Latine stories that exemplify more than just our collective trauma.
