Life and career

Gummersall was born in Durango, Colorado, the son of artist C. Gregory Gummersall.

Intrigued by visual storytelling, Gummersall began his journey to the other side of the camera early in his career.

He filmed, edited, and directed the music documentary “Lawn Chairs and Living Rooms” and directed the award-winning short films “Bullies On Vacation” and “PORK...a short film”.
