As a writer, director, producer, and actor, Rebecca Gibson’s award-winning work in documentary, drama, and comedy has played in festivals, in theatres, and on TV screens around the world.

Following graduation from the New York Film Academy, a CFTPA International Internship took Rebecca to Los Angeles at the start of her film career. Early on, she discovered her passion for indie filmmaking and quickly worked her way from a volunteer production assistant/craft services gig on a Canadian Film Centre feature to production managing the feature film Heater, which premiered at Sundance. She became one of Manitoba’s top casting directors for a short period before returning to her first love, acting. Acting credits include her ACTRA Award-winning role in The Pinkertons (Netflix), her Blizzard Award-winning role in the film that launched The Murdoch Mysteries, and the recent hit for Lifetime, The Woman With the Red Lipstick.

With her former production company, the woman-led collective Red Czarina Entertainment, Rebecca co-wrote and produced the award-winning feature film H&G. Through Red Czarina, Rebecca wrote, produced, and directed the documentary Daphne Korol: The Drama Queen of Winnipeg, a tribute to her first mentor. Mentorship has been fundamental to Rebecca’s career. She works with the CMPA, ACTRA, WIFT Toronto, WIDC, GEMS Vancouver, among several other organizations as a mentor. As a partner in Eagle Vision, Rebecca has furthered her devotion to mentorship, helping to give many emerging filmmakers, craftspeople, and technicians their first and ongoing opportunities. Currently, Rebecca is co-showrunning the fifth season of the series Taken, which she co-created, executive produces, and writes and directs on, and for which she received several honours including a Beyond Borders Media Award, and three CSA nominations. Rebecca continues to lead development for Eagle Vision, including the recently greenlit Stevie and the Sacred Animals, an animated series in partnership with Sinking Ship.

She was the co-showrunner on Snapchat’s hit first Canadian original series, Reclaim(ed) also nominated for a Banff Rockie (co-showrunner, executive producer, and a writer and director). And she was the director and executive producer of the comedy series DJ Burnt Bannock. She recently completed the third season of the factual series 7TH GEN (co-creator, executive producer, writer, director). Rebecca was selected to join the Canadian Comedy Accelerator presented by the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles with the new series she created, Access, which has been supported in development by the Bell Fund and the CMF.

Rebecca founded Orange Daisy Project, a social action campaign in support of mental health for teen girls. The campaign provided mentorships, online resources, and a best-selling mental health workbook, which she co-wrote. Rebecca was honoured nationally as a CAMH Difference Maker and was ACTRA Manitoba's 2018 Woman of the Year. Rebecca received the FTM’s Carole Vivier Builder Award in 2023, and was recently named to the Order of Manitoba.
