Gary Shore is an Irish film director, producer and screenwriter, best known for his directorial debut film Dracula Untold. He has also directed commercials for a number of well-known brands including Gatorade, Adidas, and UGG.

Shore was born in 1981 in Artane, Dublin, and graduated in 2006 from the National Film School.

Shore attended the National Film School in Dublin, Ireland. He graduated in 2006 winning the Royal Television Society Award for Best Student Drama for his short film, The Draft which he wrote, directed, and produced. Also in 2006, the Cannes International Advertising Festival nominated Shore for the prestigious Young Director Award. In 2009, he produced a faux film trailer, a science-fiction horror short film, The Cup of Tears. This short led to a bidding war in 2010 resulting in a deal with Working Title Films to develop a feature version.

In October 2012, Shore and fellow producer Jonathan Loughran founded a production company named ArtCastle Productions with offices in Dublin and Los Angeles. Later, Shore and his company were signed by the William Morris Endeavor.

In 2014, Shore made his feature film directorial debut with the action fantasy-horror film Dracula Untold based on the character Count Dracula. The film starred Luke Evans and Sarah Gadon, and was scripted by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. It was released on October 10, 2014 by Universal Pictures and grossed over $215 million.
