Sebastian Chacon Announces Debut Film Hermanos Through Bravado Pictures: A Raw, Intimate Story of Brotherhood and Latinidad

New York, US, 12th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Actor Sebastian Chacon is making his directorial and screenwriting debut with Hermanos, a deeply personal film produced under his newly launched production banner, Bravado Pictures. Known for his memorable role as Warren Rojas in Amazon Prime’s Daisy Jones and the Six, Chacon now steps behind the camera to craft an original narrative that speaks directly to his community, culture, and upbringing. Based on a true story, Hermanos centers on the lives of two Ecuadorian-American brothers in Brooklyn whose lives are upended by a violent hate crime. In the film, we watch them navigate identity, loyalty, and the survivor’s guilt that comes with enduring unspeakable tragedy.

“This is a story I’ve wanted to tell for a long time, but I haven’t known how.” says Chacon. “It is a true story that I want to highlight now more than ever; it shows how violence and hardship can test the bonds of brotherhood and family.”

A Personal Story, Told with Grit and Heart

Hermanos draws heavily from Chacon’s own life—growing up in an Ecuadorian/Colombian family in New York City, surrounded by sounds, textures, and tensions unique to the immigrant experience. But Chacon is quick to clarify that the film isn’t about immigration or hardship. It’s about people. Real people, with humor, pride, flaws, and resilience. “This isn’t trauma porn. It’s not about proving our worth through struggle,” Chacon explains. “It’s about showing us as we are—funny, loud, vulnerable, complicated. These characters are layered. They mess up. They make up. They survive. And they love each other, even if they don’t say it out loud.” Chacon wrote the screenplay and refined it with the help of his brothers, who also serve as collaborators and producers on the project.

The Launch of Bravado Pictures

To produce Hermanos on their own terms, Chacon and his brothers, Anthony and Kevin Chacon, co-founded Bravado Pictures, a new, independent film production company dedicated to amplifying stories from underrepresented voices. Hermanos marks the first project from the company and sets the tone for its creative vision.

“There’s a lot of talk in Hollywood about inclusion, but rarely do we get control over how our stories are told,” Chacon says. “Bravado is our answer to that. We’re tired of asking for permission, and tired of shaping our narratives to fit what people identify as “Latino stories””. Bravado Pictures is intentionally structured to operate outside traditional studio systems. The production will prioritize hiring Latino and BIPOC creatives both on screen and behind the scenes. From casting to costume to camera work, their productions will be shaped by artists with lived experience in the communities it represents.

The company also plans to work with youth mentorship programs and local talent pipelines to offer training and entry points for aspiring filmmakers from marginalized backgrounds. “It’s not just about this one movie,” Chacon notes. “It’s about creating pathways for the next generation of storytellers.”

A Brooklyn Film, Through and Through

Hermanos will be shot entirely on location in Brooklyn, capturing the borough’s energy, grit, and character in every frame. Chacon insists the setting is not just a backdrop—it’s a co- star. “Brooklyn is part of the DNA of this film,” he says. “We’re not dressing up some Hollywood lot to look like Bushwick. We’re shooting on the block, in real locations that hold personal history.”

The film’s authenticity is core to its aesthetic and emotional impact. From the language spoken to the music played, every detail in Hermanos is carefully curated to reflect the lived realities of its characters. “We’re not interested in polished or sanitized. We want real,” says Chacon.

Independent and Community-Driven

While many debut films seek major studio backing, Hermanos will be financed and produced independently. Chacon and his team are raising funds through private investors, grassroots support, and partnerships with local arts organizations committed to diversity in media.
Bravado Pictures is also working with neighborhood businesses, artists, and vendors to build a production ecosystem that uplifts the very people it represents. The goal is to ensure that the impact of Hermanos extends beyond the screen and into the lives of those involved in
bringing it to life.

A Defining Moment in Chacon’s Career

Chacon’s pivot to filmmaking is a bold step, but one that feels aligned with the arc of his career thus far. His portrayal of Warren Rojas in Daisy Jones and the Six was a standout performance, not least because he insisted on changing the character’s name and backstory
to better reflect his own Latino identity. “I’m always looking for ways to bring my culture into the work I do,” he says. “But eventually I realized that if I really wanted to see our stories told right, I’d have to be the one writing them.”

With Hermanos, Chacon is not only writing them—he’s directing, producing, and building the infrastructure to keep telling them for years to come.

What’s Next for Hermanos

Pre-production for Hermanos is currently underway, with casting announcements and behind-the-scenes previews expected later this year. The film is slated to begin shooting in 2025, with plans to premiere at a major independent film festival upon completion. “We’re not just making a movie,” Chacon says. “We’re making a mark— Hermanos is a taste of what we’re about as a team, and a precursor to the stories we want to tell.”

Final Thoughts

Sebastian Chacon is proving that authenticity and ambition are not mutually exclusive. WithHermanos, he’s not just stepping into a new creative role—he’s launching a culturalmovement that centers family, brotherhood, and community with power and precision.

“You don’t scroll the jack – you scroll the page,” says Crystal Gotti, Co-Founder and Culture Editor. “Some of our readers haven’t touched down in years. They have no idea what a TikTok video looks like, what’s trending on Instagram, or what’s moving the culture right now. We bring the world to their hands – unfiltered, unbought, and unstoppable.”

What Makes Scroll Up Different:

Unlike traditional magazines, Scroll Up Magazine transforms the digital experience into print, featuring:

Viral TikTok videos captured as photo sequences with captions Instagram posts pulled directly from the timeline Memes, video stills, and social media moments that define the culture. 

Issue One launches with a powerful cover story: 

“Welcome Home Pooh Shiesty” An in-depth feature on the Memphis rapper’s recent release from federal custody after three years, his welcome home celebration, and his plan to reclaim his throne in hip-hop. 

Who This Magazine Serves:

Scroll Up Magazine is essential reading for:

Incarcerated individuals seeking connection to the culture and current events. Families and loved ones of the incarcerated who want to send meaningful, engaging content and Hip-hop enthusiasts who value authentic, street-level perspectives.

Scroll Up Magazine offers more than entertainment – it offers hope, connection, and proof that the culture hasn’t moved on without them.
