Biography
Gibbins was born in Cornwall, England on 13 October 1952. After attending The Arthur Terry School in Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, he started his career out as an actor on radio and in television, as a reporter for BBC Midlands Today. At one point, Gibbins decided that he wanted to try out journalism but found that he did not much care for it. Before coming to the US in the mid-1980s, he produced and directed a few documentaries for the BBC and made music videos for such groups as the Eurythmics and Wham!. He made his feature-film debut in the US with the 1986 romantic drama film, Fire with Fire in 1986 which starred actors Craig Sheffer and Virginia Madsen. Gibbins later co-penned the script for Roger Spottiswoode's Third Degree Burn, a made-for-TV movie in 1989. In 1991, Gibbins released Eve of Destruction, an action thriller film starring Gregory Hines about a female scientist who creates a sexy android version of herself and equips it with both the passionate emotions she lacks and also a nuclear bomb, then the trouble begins. Gibbins made his final film, A Case for Murder in 1993, which starred Jennifer Grey and Peter Berg about a lawyer who gets involved with her partner, then suspects him of murder in a case they are trying together.Usually with

In this fact-based adolescent melodrama, Joe Fisk is a juvenile delinquent who falls in love with Lisa Taylor, a beautiful Catholic girl's school student, in an Oregon forest. The two meet by accident when the troubled young man stumbles upon her while being chased by his peers in a training exercise, and sees the lovely girl floating in a small lake as she works on a photography assignment, recreating the Pre-Raphaelite painting Ophelia by John Everett Millais. The two are immediately drawn to each other, but neither of their custodians encourage contact with the opposite sex, and when their relationship is discovered there is trouble all around, forcing the young lovers to flee. The question then remains: Will they be able to escape the law and other authorities long enough to find happiness?
