Todd I Gordon

Todd I. Gordon came to filmmaking after a long career practicing entertainment law and managing complex web development projects for a large media company. A few years ago, he began writing feature screenplays on spec, with a particular focus on adapting unfairly obscure or forgotten novels, which were the only ones to which he could afford the rights. After winning a few screenwriting competitions, Todd pivoted to short films to pursue more collaborative projects. "Pianoforte," a short narrative film that he wrote and produced, was released in 2018. "Old Hen" (2020), which he also wrote and produced, was his first foray into directing and was the official selection of 15 festivals in the U.S. and Europe. In 2023, Todd wrote and directed two short films, "Herb's Pajamas," a comedy, and "Mr. Donahoe's Mangoes," a drama, both based on short stories by the renowned memoirist, Abigail Thomas.
