We are a Brooklyn-based film production company specializing in independent and inventive filmmaking. We have honed our skills and knowledge of logistical filmmaking through our extensive history of working on numerous major-studio productions throughout the tri-state area: including films such as the blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises, the Oscar-nominated American Hustle, and the action-packed 17 Bridges as well as TV shows that include AppleTV’s The Crowded Room, Hulu’s Wu Tang: An American Saga, and Fox’s Gotham.

Driven by our unwavering passion for genre filmmaking, we are determined to carve our own path, establishing Gatekeeper Films as a trusted and influential name synonymous with innovation, creativity, and unforgettable cinematic experiences.

We believe that while these stories are eternal and universal, HOW you tell the story is what sets you apart. We make the left turn, we forge ahead into the unknown, we make the movies that people want to see when others just make movies.

Who We Are

Currently, we are in pre-production for our independent feature film, A Blaze in the Brooklyn Sky. This female-driven revenge-thriller is set in the punk/heavy-metal scene of Brooklyn, New York, touching upon themes of grief, loss, empowerment, and class struggle.

The film features a diverse cast that represents the true melting pot of New York and a truly original score that encompasses the underutilized and world-wide genre of music. Our aim with A Blaze in the Brooklyn Sky is to captivate the fervent genre/horror film community and the international community of the punk/heavy-metal fan-base with its stylized and specialized storytelling, resonating with an even wider audience.
