Hello, my name is Ariel Gardner. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA and I am still here. I make movies, music, and art. I am a professional editor by trade.

When I was a child, I used to make little movies with my brother in the backyard just so we could make each other laugh.

I picked up editing software in middle school and I realized how much better I could make the movies if I just cut out the bad stuff and added sounds.

I went to San Francisco for film school to learn how to make movies even better and spent a decade creating on a monthly basis, still learning.

All these years later, I still make movies just to make people laugh, and I still learn a lot every time I make one.

Much like I picked up editing software in middle school, I picked up music software a few years ago now here I am making albums and composing music for my movies. After enjoying so much music throughout my life, I am glad to finally be able to contribute in my own way.

On this website, you will get to see all the work I’ve done. You’ll see a lot of short films, a couple features, some music videos, some segments from radically remixed Hollywood movies, and a whole lot of thoughts and feelings I’d like to share about what all these works mean to me.

I have a tendency to care very deeply about each and every project I work on and so I have plenty to say about each one.

Whether you’re here as a fan, a friend, or a future collaborator, I just want to welcome you inside my head and heart.

If you’re reading this, that already means the world to me.
