Director Statement

I am so proud of The Gilbert Diaries Comedy series.
We won two awards at the 2021 Chelsea Film Festival for Episode 2 of the Gilbert Diaries "Nillionaire" . Won win The Comedy TV Series Audience Award scoring the highest votes and view online from around the world during the festival. The Pilot episode came very close. The 2nd award was the Best Comedy TV Series Jury Award.
The Gilbert Diaries Pilot episode was shown on the big screen at the 14th street Regal Cinema for the Chelsea Film Festival. We received so much cheering and a long applause. The Big Concert is a short and we wanted to keep the buzz going as we are heading to filming episode 5. I want to call the a bonus Clip.
We have many fans who saw the trailers from the other episodes when will the series be out so the can see the whole show.
