The spectacularly versatile Gabrielle Rose carried the banner for TWO 4 ONE as she pulled down the honours for Best Female in a Supporting Role at the 2015 Leo Awards Ceremony last week.
Gabrielle impressed her peers and jurors with her performance as the mother of pregnant transgendered Adam (Gavin Crawford) and proudly projected the essence of the film’s message to all who would listen. Gabrielle, as soon-to-be Gramma Franny rolled with the punches and refused to be set back by expectations imposed by what appeared to be an inflexible society. She saw the best possible version of those around her and when informed of Adam’s allegedly toxic peer group, insisted “you don’t give people enough credit.”
Armed with an enlightened script by Maureen Bradley, Gabrielle sparkled with all the glitter we’d like to have when faced with the twists and turns of real life. During the filming TWO 4 ONE, I had the privilege of watching Gabrielle demonstrate good nature, passion, and professionalism. She is a class act and a pleasure to work with. Bravo Gabrielle!
