Antonio Brown

Producer

Antonio Brown is a former university professor, an honored recipient of numerous academic awards and fellowships, who sits on boards of directors and consults with social justice and community-based organizations. His educational background, career, and activism are driven by his commitment to social justice for all people. Brown also has had a long time fascination with the entertainment industry and its ability to affect change and mirror our society and culture. He believes that many of us look to the media as we form our sense of self, our identities. Tru Loved is an opportunity for him to marry his commitment to social justice with his entertainment industry endeavors in a way that will provide positive imagery in support of social justice and social change. The story along with the film’s partnerships with organizations committed to civil liberties, civil rights, and social justice make this project uniquely important to Brown as he feels it will be to many others.

Antonio is currently serving his second term as Vice President of the Board of Directors of the ACLU of Southern California. He also sits on the board of Outfest, one of the nation’s most prominent LGBT film festivals. He is an Executive Producer of the award winning feature film, Coffee Date. And, he continues to serve as a liaison for marketing and distribution interests in that film.

Aside from producing Tru Loved, Brown has served as the story consultant for the script. He, along with Stewart Wade, has co-founded BrownBag Productions, LLC, which will focus on optioning, developing, and producing feature films, television and other programming with LGBTQ content.
