Gigi & Nate is an uplifting story inspired by true events. Charlie Rowe plays the role of Nate Gibson, a young man who’s life was flipped upside down and suddenly becomes a quadriplegic. Despite this being such a heavy film emotionally, it’s incredibly inspirational and gives us the ability to see hope even in the darkest times.
Gigi & Nate showcases the beautiful relationship between service animals and their companions. I recently had the opportunity to interview director Nick Hamm. We discussed the importance of Gigi & Nate, key takeaways, the challenges of working with a monkey, and MORE! You can view my complete Gigi & Nate interview below.

Gigi & Nate Synopsis
In this uplifting drama inspired by actual events, Nate (Charlie Rowe) suffers a near-fatal illness and is left a quadriplegic just weeks before departing for college. As Nate tries to adjust to his new life challenges, his mother (Oscar® winner* Marcia Gay Harden) helps him bring home an unlikely service animal, Gigi — a curious and intelligent capuchin monkey. Nate and Gigi form an unbreakable bond, but when it’s threatened by a group trying to outlaw capuchins, Nate’s family rallies behind him to help him regain what he needs most: hope.
