Gabrielle M. Collins is a writer/producer/director in Los Angeles with over 15 years experience in entertainment development and production. Her talents writing sitcoms, sketch comedies, dramas, screenplays, and non-scripted formats, have made her an avid content creator.
Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, she simultaneously attended the University of Illinois at Chicago, pursuing a degree in Marketing, and television production at Columbia College Chicago. Upon moving to Los Angeles, she began her career as a Writers’ Assistant and Script Coordinator on network TV shows, including Martin (FOX), In the House (UPN) and nationally syndicated The Martin Short Show. She branched out into writing and became a WGA Writers’ Trainee on MadTV (FOX), and became a produced writer for the show.
Ms. Collins would go on to write and produce several projects, including BrandhouseTV, a TV shopping network venture by Tommy Mottola; Thinking Blue, a short film about breaking the cycle of bullying; Danny 101, a sitcom presentation about etiquette basics; and Love In An INSTAnt, an Instagram inspired love story.
Ms. Collins would go on to expand her TV portfolio by working in Non-Scripted Development at ITV Studios America. She helped her team launch several successful network series, including Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris (NBC), The Chase (FOX, GSN), Cesar 911 (NAT GEO), and Rich Kids of Beverly Hills (E!). She also helped oversee the production delivery of Surprise Surprise with Jenny McCarthy (NBC) and On Your Mind with Mo’Nique (ABC Daytime).
After wrapping up her four-year corporate stint at ITV, Ms. Collins decided to return to television production as a producing partner at Running With Scissors, creating scripted content for film and television. During her tenure, she helped deliver several scripted projects, including the feature film #Twominutesoffame (Lionsgate), TV series Dear White People (Netflix), animated series Legends of Chamberlain Heights (Comedy Central), and Divorce Saved My Marriage (BET).
Today, Collins has proven herself as a prolific writer and is in demand working under her own production shingle, Ms. Adventures In Writing. The company creates, develops and packages scripted and non-scripted content across all media platforms. Next up on the producing and directing front is her feature film, Cornered, a Chicago based drama.
Recent projects include feature film, The App That Stole Christmas, currently in pre-production; feature film Throwback Holiday (BET/Tridestined), the network's first original holiday film; a 10-episode TV series in development, Trap City (REIGN); feature film Blood Brother (Codeblack/Lionsgate); and the feature film, Identical Christmas, in development with Nferno Productions. Her popular relationship blog, Ms. Adventures in Dating, is currently being developed into an eBook and animated series.
