Gabriel Moreno (born c. 1697 AN) is a New Alexandrian film director and studio founder. He established Twilight Tales Studios in Cárdenas in 1728 AN and built it into the home of the low-budget horror style that critics named the Cárdenas Gothic.[1]
Career
Moreno founded Twilight Tales Studios in Cárdenas in 1728 AN, an independent house working in horror, fantasy and science fiction, and directed its early features himself.[1][2] His approach to low-budget filmmaking gave the studio's pictures the visual identity from which the Cárdenas Gothic took its name, a form of horror built on atmosphere rather than expense.[1] In 1731 AN he hired the composer Allegra Van Bokhoven, within a year of the lifting of the ban that had kept her off New Alexandrian screens for seven years after Last Night on Botha, and built the studio's sound around her; he has said her scores settled the Cárdenas Gothic before his cameras did.[2] His own direction runs through the studio's early pictures, from The Salt House (1731 AN) to The Drowned Choir (1746 AN), after which the house gave its films to other directors, among them Renata Corvo, who made its 1759 AN release The Last Lamp of Ben Aliv.[2][1]
