BraveMaker membership sessions are led and facilitated by Tony Gapastione, a writer, director, producer and actor in the SF Bay Area. After starting BraveMaker as a film festival in 2018 with the vision to create more spaces for brave storytellers, Tony has gone on to produce, write and direct a feature film (Last Chance Charlene in 2022) which received distribution, tons of award winning, film festival selected short films, PSA's and more. He teaches acting and screenwriting and is skilled in bringing ideas to life.

BraveMaker membership is for actors, writers and filmmakers who want professional development, support and accountability to create. Monthly sessions are aimed at supporting and educating makers to create and follow plans to achieve their goals.
