My name is Bri Castellini, and I make things for a living.
I’m an independent film and creative problem-solving consultant, a romance author, and a subject matter expert in crowdfunding, indie filmmaking, film festivals, podcasting, and the USA television show Burn Notice. As a queer writer/director, I’m known for my short film Ace and Anxious (165k+ views on YouTube) and for my podcast Breaking Out of Breaking In. I personally helped launch over $25 million dollars in crowdfunding campaigns with an 85% success rate while I was the Manager of Creator Success at the artist crowdfunding platform Seed&Spark, and I have spoken at over 200 events and festivals virtually and in person on the subjects previously listed.
My screenwriting has been a finalist for a Stowe Story Labs fellowship, an Austin Film Festival Second Rounder, and a Quarterfinalist for Final Draft’s Big Break contest, The PAGE Awards, and the Inroads Screenwriting Fellowship. A notable film project is my 2017 award-winning short Ace and Anxious, which has reached over 165k views on YouTube and was previously distributed by the queer streaming platform RevryTV.

I am also just important enough to have an IMDb page.
