Gille Klabin was born to a Lithuanian Engineer and a Latvian Sculptor. He grew up in a combination of European nations, eventually ending up in England, where he began making videos at the age of 11. With stop-motion toy films in his past, Gille graduated from Westminster University’s Film School and worked as a production assistant and location scout, while directing music videos for unsigned bands. Gille’s colourful, energetic work eventually got him directing videos for several major record labels and working with production companies and agencies making commercials and shorts in London. In 2009 he moved to Los Angeles where his documentary, commercial and music video work have all flourished. He created a host of videos for several electronic music artists and a handful of national spots for tech, food and alcohol brands.
