While he was studying film in the city of Monterrey, he made his first two short films with a very low budget: Abruptum, a surreal chronicle of a tormented being facing his emotions, and El Numen de Cartón, an absurd tale of a fragile god who summons his blind followers.

During this period, he was involved in various short films and audiovisual projects, holding positions as assistant, continuity writer, scriptwriter, and director, in addition to collaborating with the Bengala Agency in some of their projects. In 2021 one of his co-written short films (Por un Bistec) participates in Shorts México, Ruta Maya among other festivals and his script Ultrajes cercanos del Tercer Tipo (absurd and irreverent comedy with fantastic overtones) is selected at the 24 laughs per second of EscribeCine.

He currently collaborates with CintaNegra as a screenwriter where he has worked on various writing jobs.

Gabriel GN Salazar is a filmmaker with an interest in creating provocative stories that shake the viewer's sensibilities, be it through graphic violence or explicit sex. His taste for terror, gore and pornography have meant in his career a marked style in his most intimate stories. However, he is not pigeonholed in only creating content of this nature, his vision expands to commercial fields and more open niches.

Among his interests are animation, photography, literature, pornography, new technologies and video art. His focuses in the cinematographic profession are the script, the direction and the image editing.
