LOS ANGELES, Calif. – At Yale, Gabe Polsky '02 was all Blue as a Bulldog varsity hockey player. He is now all Red with famous hockey movies, including Penguins.
 
Polsky, who skated for Tim Taylor's teams at Ingalls Rink while studying political science, wrote, directed and produced the feature documentary Red Penguins which premiered to acclaim at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. Pete Hammond of Deadline called it, "a remarkable— and funny— documentary that seems ripe for entry into this year's Oscar race." Universal releases the film today.
 
He wrote, directed, and produced the 2015 award-winning documentary Red Army, which was released by Sony Pictures Classics after premiering with universal acclaim at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The story chronicled the epic rise and fall of the Soviet Union through its famed Red Army hockey team. 

In 2018 Polsky wrote, directed, and produced In Search of Greatness, a journey into the secrets of genius, as told through three of the greatest athletes of all time: Wayne Gretzky, Pele and Jerry Rice. It was nominated for several awards, including the Writer's Guild of America.

Another award-winning project he executive produced was Genius (2017), the 10-time Emmy® nominated TV show on National Geographic about Albert Einstein. Polsky co-directed and produced The Motel Life, a feature film that won international awards and starred Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning and Steven Dorff.
 
In 2016, The New Yorker commissioned Polsky to make a short documentary called "The Blimp-Maker." Additional producing credits include: Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, which was named in over 40 top-ten lists of 2009 and His Way, an Emmy® nominated documentary released by HBO in 2011.
