BraveMaker

Our very first shirt was black with yellow letters. Vintage BraveMaker.

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.

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.

Storytelling is activism. Tell your story.

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

Peace in white, find it where you can

White Tutto Bene

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.

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.

Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Pink.

BraveMaker exists to elevate brave voices. We believe brave stories change the world. Brave stories invite us to activate. You are the story.
