When David Gelb was attending film school, he figured he would be directing the next Harry Potter<\/em> the moment he graduated. “It was totally delusional of me,” he joked.<\/p>\n

He recalls the Indiana Jones<\/em> and Star Wars<\/em> VHS tapes he nearly destroyed as a kid from constant watching and rewinding. As Gelb grew, he created homemade movies with his friends and discovered a calling.<\/p>\n

“I loved being able to share my perspective, to the audience, through the camera lens,” Gelb recalled.” I could take people on a journey which I thought was really exciting.”<\/p>\n

The GTs Are Faster<\/h2>\n

Through college, Gelb worked on documentaries for charity and behind the scenes on music videos and commercials. Those experiences fashioned Gelb’s love for explaining how things are made and what drives the people who make them. The success of his first film, Jiro Dreams of Sushi<\/a>, <\/em>allowed Gelb to tell the story of another creative process. Living in New York City, Gelb’s family didn’t necessitate a car but the Mustang found a way.<\/p>\n

“My dad would take me with him to visit Los Angeles and he would always rent a GT convertible. He wasn’t a car nut by any means but I remember him making a point about it being a V8 and being faster because it was a GT,” Gelb said. “I grew up basically without cars, yet I had this strong emotional connection to the Mustang. The more people I talked to, the more I realized they had a Mustang story too. This was something people were very connected to and I became curious about it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is our review of Gelb’s film, A Faster Horse<\/em>.<\/p>\n
