BraveMaker

This is who I am

The crew deserve laurels, too

We love our CREW in pink.

Join the CREW. If you're on the crew of any BraveMaker film project--sport this shirt.

We ARE in this together, b+w. We are the story!

We are in this together. We are the story!

Remind yourself. Over and over. You are the story.

embrace the strange

It's OK to NOT BE OK. And sometimes we need to NOT BE OK with others, our significant other/partner, whoever. Invite your loved one to be who they are---cause let's admit it---nobody has it all together so let's just be NOT OK, together.

Writer/Director. Is that you? Own it.

Be you. Be weird.

Brave your way. Make it happen.

Vintage Brave your way

Finding your way and braving it requires trying new things and finding your stride

Live it. Own it. You ARE the story.

You are the story. Black and white and colorful all over.

You are the story, write it out, live it out in blue

Peace in white, find it where you can

White Tutto Bene

Hand drawn peace with a backwards E. It never works like you hope but sometimes it fits together in weird ways. Enjoy it as you find it.

Brave stories change the world. That story is you. Live it (and wear it) with pride.

BraveMaker partners with pride to celebrate diversity and elevate equity with all people. We especially champion the LGBTQ+ community and makers of all kinds.

In our feature film, LAST CHANCE CHARLENE, the main character Charlene and her brother started a graphic design and t-shirt company. Tutto Bene is ITALIAN FOR: Everything's great or it's all good!

You are the Story. Every day. All day.

Square up: Lights. Camera. Activate.

You know the story. You are it.

A cool filmmaker gift for an obsessed movie watcher, a true film buff cinema gift featuring a clapperboard, clapper, or clapboard next to a peace sign and heart. Great present for a director, producer, cinematographer, screenplay writer, or anyone who loves making movies.

Believe it. Live it.

Repeat after me: You are the story!

Our first fest was held in Redwood City, California in 2019. Our 2020 fest went a different direction. Although we were sad to change our plans, our audience went GLOBAL because of Covid-19. We've been sharing more films and having more conversations than we ever could have because everything went online. Thank you for supporting us and supporting the brave storytellers sharing their films.
