Gina Surles

Gina Surles was born and raised in Chicago and Oak Park, Illinois. After receiving her B.F.A. in dance from the University of Illinois, Champaign, Gina performed with regional ballet and modern dance companies. She spent 34 years as assistant director of Hawaii State Ballet and, alongside her husband, John Landovsky, has helped train and produce some of Hawaii's most talented professional dancers and ballet instructors, all while attending acting classes and working on screenwriting. Gina has worked as an extra on films and television shows shot in Hawaii and has had roles in several University of Hawaii/Academy of Creative Media films that have screened at international film festivals. Gina was thrilled and extremely grateful to have Triple Threat accepted into the Creative Lab Hawaii Web Series Immersive program under the direction of Michael Palmieri, where the Triple Threat Web Series project all began. Triple Threat won the Roy W. Dean 2018 Fall grant and recently won Best Pilot in the 2020 British Web Awards.
