These films garnered awards and international recognition, setting the stage for Gal’s dynamic career.

In 2019, Gal expanded his creative reach by directing a children's series for the Hope Channel, and later that year, he directed a biblical period film for the ultra-Orthodox community, notable for its portrayal of strong female protagonists.

Produced for the Public Broadcasting Corporation, this documentary is currently being showcased at international festivals. Gal’s latest feature, House Arrest (2025), explores themes of family, faith, and redemption and is currently in post-production.
