About Tony

I have been working on stage and in front of the camera acting, in print, and film for over twenty-five years. I am originally from Chicago where I grew my love for theatre (especially Shakespeare), before moving to California where I became a SAG-AFTRA actor. Most recently, I'm on the other side of the camera, writing, producing, and directing. I love building relationships on sets and beyond because I love people and collaboration. I love all aspects of the creative process, that's why I started BraveMaker media and Film Fest. I love telling stories that entertain, but it's my passion to wake us up to life's bigger stories. Life is about living a good story. Brave stories change the world. YOU are the story.
