• Jennifer: Giovanna Brokaw | bio

  Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, Giovanna has had a passion for the arts since childhood. After seeing a Laurence Olivier film on an airplane bound for the Caribbean, at the age of ten she decided that acting would be her profession of choice. Unfortunately, her parents were not on board with this decision, so she had to wait until college before she could do her “own thing.”

  After receiving a bachelor in fine arts from Chapman University, Giovanna moved to New York to pursue theatre on the stages of the Big Apple. After years of working with a variety of writer/directors in original productions, she moved to San Antonio, Texas where she married and continued acting with the San Antonio Public Theatre. Sadly, with only one equity house in San Antonio, there was not much work to be had in the off-season.

  In order to continue with a more active pursuit of their acting careers, Giovanna and her husband returned to Hollywood. With her wildly mixed heritage, she found that she did not fit neatly into casting categories. So, after relocating to a town saturated with the biz, it was still difficult to find work. Not deterred by this fact, Giovanna and her husband decided to create their own opportunity and setout to produce their first feature film. The product of this adventure is "Between Stories" and it is only the first of many to come!

Crew

• Director: Domingo Vara | bio

  Ten years ago, Domingo Vara left his hometown of San Antonio, Texas and came to Hollywood. As a struggling actor, he dropped in and out of college. While studying acting, he became intrigued with the creative process that took place behind the camera. After a few years, he made the decision to pursue a formal education in filmmaking. Domingo took a huge leap of faith, moved to New York and applied to the film school at CUNY’s City College in Harlem. For three years, he laid the foundation for his future. Following graduation, he was offered a job back in his hometown, producing commercials for the largest Hispanic-advertising agency in the country. After two years of learning the producing aspect of filmmaking, he and his beautiful bride decided to move back to Los Angeles to further pursue their careers as actors/filmmakers. Domingo continued to produce television and radio commercials from 1997 to 2000 on a freelance basis. In the spring of 2000, he decided it was time to return to filmmaking.

  In the last five years, Domingo has produced numerous television and radio commercials, and one exciting feature film. Producing and directing "Between Stories" was a great challenge – a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, his wife Giovanna Brokaw was there to co-produce the majority of the film. Domingo is currently developing several projects and focusing on a romantic comedy, "Cultures Collide".
