Gayle Ferraro, founder of Aerial Productions, has sought to bring personal accounts of extraordinary stories to the film circuit. Ferraro finished filming her third documentary, "GANGES: River to Heaven," in the winter of 2003. Shot in Varanasi, India on the Ganges, the film examines how the city, its hospices, burning grounds, and river, make up the holiest way of life through death.
In 2002, Ferraro completed "Anonymously Yours," her second film. She and her small crew traveled to Myanmar (formerly Burma) to delve into the uncharted world of sex trafficking in the region. The dangerous endeavor has resulted in the unprecedented access of documentary film views into the personal stories of young prostitutes.
Ferraro’s first film, "Sixteen Decisions" (released in 2000) focuses on the courageous efforts of impoverished Bangladeshi women endeavoring to overcome poverty through microentrerprise. The debut film garners critical praise and attention as it continues to build an audience. Gayle is currently in post production on her third film, a documentary on death and life on the Ganges.
Ferraro received master's degrees in Public Administration from Harvard University and Mass Communication from Boston University, and studied international human rights law at Oxford University.
