Gabriel Dupon is an American film director, producer, and writer. Born in Fort Collins, Colorado, he started making fun action movies at a young age. Now he continues to create films with the motivation to captivate audiences with impactful stories and powerful cinematic experiences.
During my high school years, I created a film about the Cassini mission to Saturn. It was a neat project, but I thought that I did a mediocre job with it. It wasn't until 7 years later that I decided to make another film about a space probe mission. This time, it was about Voyager 2 going beyond the Solar System.
I had a goal to achieve two things with the Voyager production. The first is that I wanted to demonstrate the beauty of the Voyager 2 probe's journey through space. The second is that I wanted to question the audience: "Why do we explore?"
I believe that I was successful with those two goals. Now you need to watch the film to find out if you agree with me. Enjoy!
