Ferdinand C. Gabuten Jr. was born in raised in San Mateo Rizal, Philippines. He moved to the U.S. in 2010 and had difficulty understanding the English language.

However, he found help through television, film, literature, and video games in strengthening his secondary language. But the gaming industry had the most impact on him, and began creating content under the medium's ever growing umbrella. 

 

Ferdinand gained an appreciation for filmmaking and the stories told through the craft, and dreamt of one day returning the same artistic influence to others who shared the same struggle as he did.

​

With his skill and background in computer science and software combined with technical passion for storytelling, Ferdinand pursued editing as a Post-Production Artist, with experience in narrative work, documentary, contemporary, and gaming works.

His ultimate dream is to create a production company known as inCREWmination Productions, and help other aspiring artists and creators from marginalized communities promote their works and love for filmmaking.
