A Passionate Story Teller Edgar Bravo has a mission - make good films that tell a good story. These are passionate stories, the kind that rarely make it into Hollywood films but instead are found in the realm of independent films. And being gay and Latino, Bravo has plenty of experiences from which to draw. Many films and awards later Bravo is one of the nation's foremost pioneers in gay films. Hollywood films take months of pre-production, shooting, and editing.
Independents are two weeks preparation, two weeks filming, and two weeks editing.
Hollywood films require a larger financial investment and for this reason tend to be more conservative in their subject matter, avoiding strong passionate stories. This is the reason there are not a lot of gay themed Hollywood films. Edgar believes that strong passionate films are actually what audiences want, the films that stir emotions and are remembered. He provided an example of Boy's Don't Cry as a smaller film with a passionate story that did well at the box office. He has chosen Atlanta to produce this gay themed film because of its great resources.
