2025-26 DET Directing Program – Unscripted | Gayle Galvez

Congratulations to 2024-25 DET Unscripted Program Director, Gayle Galvez, who has been assigned to direct a segment on the upcoming season of ABC’s CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD! A two-time Los Angeles Emmy Award-winning live television director with a background in dance, gymnastics, and music, Gayle began her career with a local TV internship in Wisconsin, where she worked her way through nearly every role in television production. She is currently serving as backup director for ABC’s GMA, where she directs high-profile live segments featuring talent like Dwayne Johnson, Zendaya, and Cate Blanchett. Her live event credentials include directing Super Bowl and Stanley Cup championship parades and a Golden Globe red carpet pre-show for network owned-and-operated stations—the kind of high-stakes, can’t-fail productions that demand split-second decision-making and flawless execution. Keep shining, Gayle!
