Gabriel Woodcock

Fulbright Lancaster University Summer Institute

Gabriel is a freshman attending Middle Tennessee State University and resides in the town of Beechgrove. Majoring in Audio Production, he loves to immerse himself in the creative department at MTSU and was elected to office for the Society of Electronic Music in his first semester. Gabriel strives for academic excellence as an honour student, always seeking new topics to learn and grow from. His love for storytelling and art has been prevalent throughout his life, from winning first in state for a creative writing contest, to making short films and social media content for his schools and music projects.

In a world that can be divided by regional, cultural, and linguistic barriers, Gabriel hopes to contribute to the universally understood language of storytelling. As someone who has read books and watched movies inspired by and set in the United Kingdom since childhood, Gabriel is eager to further appreciate the history and culture of the UK in person at Lancaster University and experience the place that has fuelled his and many others' inspiration for centuries. Being able to study film abroad in an academic environment is an opportunity he is honoured to take into his future career as a storyteller.
