GIOVANNA BROKAW (actor/producer)

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 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!
