The BraveMaker Podcast
Tony Gapastione is a SAG-AFTRA actor, speaker, and the founder and executive director of BraveMaker, a California-based nonprofit that uses film to educate, entertain, and create community through conversations about mental health, justice, diversity, and belonging. Since founding BraveMaker in 2018, he has built a year-round organization that produces a film festival, filmmaker grants, educational programs, networking events, the BraveMaker Academy, and the BraveMaker Podcast, all with the mission of empowering artists and fostering meaningful connection. As a writer, director, and producer, Tony creates character-driven stories about people falling apart who find hope, healing, and belonging through unexpected communities. His recent projects include 33 Days, inspired by the true story of Roger Huang's 33-day hunger strike, and NonProfiting, a heartfelt comedy-drama about rebuilding a life through community. Tony is driven by a simple belief: stories have the power to heal, challenge injustice, build bridges across differences, and inspire people to become brave enough to tell the stories that matter. / tonygapastione Khristopher “Squint” Sandifer, our 2026 BraveMaker Culturista, is a Visual Composer, award-winning creative director, photographer, filmmaker, and storyteller whose work bridges culture, technology, and authentic human connection.
