We educate, entertain and create community with film. We exist to elevate brave voices and effect positive, hope-filled change in the world with film. We write/produce original movies and video. Along side our annual summer film fest, we host film screenings and monthly events with powerful discussions and authentic storytelling . We host unique acting classes in Redwood City, Ca and teach screenwriting classes on Zoom.

What We Do

Supporting the artist’s calling

Artists and storytellers are prophets, creative forces in our world that speak to our need for justice, beauty, diversity, equality and spirituality. This is a painstakingly difficult calling. We are here to support and elevate these voices.

We curate and make provocative, life changing media that creates meaningful culture impacting experiences. We not only want to entertain but to incite dialogue, awareness, and bravely shape our culture. We believe in the power of story relayed through films and we want to empower others who have these same aspirations.

Art for All

Celebrating diversity. Celebrating you.

BraveMaker celebrates diversity and aspires to help foster justice and inclusion across communities through guided discussions and powerful authentic storytelling.

The world needs us to share brave stories. Making, discussing and applying art can be one of the bravest acts of our lives.

Are you a filmmaker? Do you have a brave story to tell? Let us help. The world needs a brave maker like you.

Do you love the arts and believe in their power to influence and shape culture? Great! So do we. We invite you to please donate today. Partner with us and invest in making brave films that lead to transforming conversations that effect change in our culture.
