ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS:
Edgar Michael Bravo (Writer/Director)
Latino filmmaker Edgar Michael Bravo has explored the residual effects of the North American and Latino culture clash. During his studies at the UCLA graduate school of film (MFA, 1993), Mr. Bravo's film "Mi Casa", which dealt with Latino immigrants in L.A., won the grand prize at the A&E national film competition. This prestigious award helped launch his directorial career and Edgar took on his next challenge: "Mi Hermano" which was the first drama to deal with the ramifications of AIDS and Latino immigrants. This poignant, edgy film garnered Mr. Bravo a Cine Eagle Award and was broadcast nationally on Univision and PBS.
After receiving his Masters of Fine Arts from UCLA with honors, Mr. Bravo wrote and directed the feature “I’ll Love You Forever…Tonight”, which won national rave reviews including Kevin Thomas (L.A. Times) & Steve Holden (N.Y. Times). The project co-starred Thomas Jane (The Punisher, Dreamcatcher, Boogie Nights). Phaedra released the film nationally. Video distribution was handled by BlockBuster and Hollywood Video. Lila Cazes (producer of 'Leaving Las Vegas') saw “I’ll Love You Forever…Tonight” and hired him to complete “Venus Rising”, a feature that required a re-write and re-shoots. Lila was so pleased with Mr. Bravo's take on the material, that they hired him to write the feature "The Perfect Husband".
Mr. Bravo's film "Mi Hermano" was viewed by Columbia-Tri-Star and Telemundo and led to his first directorial stint in television. Mr. Bravo shot an hour-long episode of “Reyes y Rey” (1998), a popular police drama based in a fictional Latino border town. The episode received such high ratings that he was contracted to direct two episodes of their other co-production "Angeles", a Latino version of 'Charlie's Angels.
Edgar’s following project, "The Preacher’s Son" received a Houston World Fest Award (2000). His next script which he collaborated on with another writer "The Closing Bell", received a Zide/Perry finalist award (2002) and won the Telluride Indie Fest Award chosen as one of the “best indie scripts (2002)”.
After reviewing his body of work, the award winning San Francisco writers Bob Vickery and Dale Chase granted Mr. Bravo rights to their stories. The result was the script “THE THREE STAGES OF STAN”, produced in 2003 Mr. Bravo's great dream is to direct his script, "The Conquest of Mexico", which depicts the beauty of Mexico before the treachery of Cortez and the European diseases he brought that devastated a highly developed indigenous culture.
