Dawn Dubriel's positive, outgoing and creative spirit helps her on a daily basis in her endeavors as a writer/director/videographer/editor/producer.

At ten years old, her parents gave her a video camera and Dawn has been making films ever since.

Her Dad also helped by constructing the set of a kitchen of an apt.
