about Gina Margillo

Gina Margillo is an award-winning filmmaker and activist.

She has been a film screener for the San Francisco International Film Festival and a reviewer for the Ranin and Westridge Social Justice Narrative Grants for over 10 years. Her early career as concert producer of artists, from Sonic Youth to Billy Joel, helped fuel her insatiable love for music.
