Shane Gilbert has a track record of producing films and documentaries that inspire and impact. She's led a storied life of using film to point people toward living life of purpose. In 2000, Shane partnered up with some amazing friends in Burbank, CA to launch Sodium Entertainment, where she produced all kinds of fun projects like Breaking Dawn (2004) with James Haven, Angelina Jolie's brother. In 2004, Shane ran the grassroots movement for the band Dispatch and produced their feature length documentary of their final show, The Last Dispatch, now known as "the largest independent rock concert in history". Shane was the grassroots guru that brought over 110,000 young people to the concert, using only 100 teenagers and 25,000 stickers. She now has a restraining order to never produce another show at the renowned Hatch Shell in Boston after shutting down Storrow Drive and both bridges over the Charles River which all flooded with fans from around the world.
In 2005, Shane took off to Africa to find her Sundance-winning story, where she fell in love with a group of street kids who changed her life. She moved in with them for over a decade, launching a nonprofit in Kampala, Uganda to attack poverty at the root cause of the orphan cycle, leading over a thousand of young people to understand not only the failure of foreign aid, but what they can do in their lifetime to make an impact. While building this organization, she simultaneously finished the feature-length documentary White Wanderer (aka. Mzungu) along with Billy Zabka (Cobra Kai, Karate Kid) who co-produced and edited the film and Steve Bertrand who wrote the soundtrack which then raised the funds to build a school for over 300 former street kids.
Currently Shane is the co-owner of Ezekiel 12 Productions where she has successfully released her new documentary, I Am Living Proof in theaters and is in development on a slate of new projects all designed to inspire change, to act justly, have mercy, and walk humbly with God.
