Our Founder & Creator
Colleen Gabriele
Hello, I’m so happy you found our service. It is my truest joy to help people tell their stories.
It is my goal to give you a bespoke storytelling experience from pre-interview to outline to one-on-one personalized attention and customized crafting of your story. It is ultimately important to me that you feel seen, heard, understood and most importantly that your story lives on for others to cherish.
I am an Emmy award winning documentarian with over 15+ years working in the film industry on TV shows, movies and commercials.
I created Starbright in 2022 out of a podcast I was hosting and producing called Mostly Minutia. The podcast encompassed long-form interviews with guests about the minutia in their lives. Honestly, it was a clear excuse for me to talk with people and ask them questions without them wondering why? At one point, I interviewed a really nice man named Roger. Roger was in his 70’s and took a lot of pride in his sales job which he had worked in for 30+ years. A few years after the interview Roger passed away and the conversation he and I had became like gold to both his family and friends. It was then that I decided this service needed to be offered. One day, while at an appointment Roger passed away is an Emmy Award winning Documentarian with over 15+ years working in the film industry. Her passion is helping people tell their personal stories through active listening, innate curiosity and vested interest in others.

I am based in Los Angeles, proud Mama to Anthony and wife to Michael. I enjoy learning Italian, talking with strangers and I believe, to the depth of my being, that stories are found within the seemingly mundane.
I look forward to helping you tell your story.
