Film Born in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of the US, Gabriel Horn has long been part of the city's indie filmmaking community. His 16-year friendship with Texas colleague Tom Huckabee resulted in several television shows and films. In an interview with Dallas Observer after Huckabee's death, Horn stated, "...(he put) himself into creative talent with inspirational people...that's what he taught me to do as well." Gabriel Horn was cast as the lead in the 2010 film Carried Away. Actor Bill Paxton was originally set to play Horn's father in the movie, but the role went to Mark Walters due to scheduling issues. Horn also served as co-producer. The film saw modest success and accolades. Director Tom Huckabee would later say, "It was Gabe who lit the fuse of Carried Away by reading the script and saying he wanted to star in it...it was (Horn's) enthusiasm for the project that caused me to commit all the money from the sale of my house in Los Angeles."
