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.

This Isn’t Your Typical Token Launch — $VON Backs an Actual Game Millions Already Play

Published

54 minutes ago

on

May 12, 2025

By

May 2025 — In an industry flooded with overpromises and underdelivered projects, Vameon is proving that the future of GameFi lies in real, playable products — not speculation. The team behind dEmpire of Vampire has officially launched its ecosystem token, $VON, following the game’s successful release and more than 2.5 million downloads on Google Play and the App Store.

The move marks a critical shift in strategy for GameFi developers: launching the product first, the token second.

“GameFi is not dead — it’s evolving. The era of token-first hype is behind us,” said a Vameon spokesperson. “With dEmpire of Vampire, we’ve built a high-quality mobile RPG that can stand on its own. The $VON token adds meaningful utility to an already successful game, not the other way around.”

🧛 About dEmpire of Vampire:

dEmpire of Vampire is a mobile 3D action RPG set in a dark vampire universe. Released in 2023, it combines AAA-quality graphics with Web2 monetization models and Web3 mechanics that are fully optional and seamlessly integrated. The game is available on both iOS and Android, making it one of the few Web3 titles accessible via mainstream app stores — not limited to clunky APK sideloads or desktop-only experiences.

🔥 What’s New: The Launch of $VON

With the recent launch of the $VON token, Vameon introduces a robust in-game economy backed by:

  • NFT-Based Play-to-Earn: Players earn rewards only after reaching high in-game levels and holding exclusive NFT Earn tokens.
  • Built-in Buyback System: A unique dual-reserve mechanism helps maintain token stability by automatically supporting the market during sell-offs.
  • Ecosystem Utility: $VON is used for in-game purchases, marketplace transactions, and to unlock advanced gameplay layers — creating real demand beyond speculation.

Interestingly, $VON has already seen price upticks on monthly payout days — a sign of genuine economic activity linked to gameplay rather than external market pumps.🎮 Raising the Bar for GameFi

The launch of $VON comes at a time when many have grown skeptical of GameFi due to a wave of failed projects. Vameon, however, is taking a different route — and it’s working.

Key Features That Set Vameon Apart:

  • Over 2.5M downloads with consistent active user growth
  • High retention rates from traditional gamers, not just crypto-native audiences
  • AAA visual quality optimized for low-end devices
  • True ownership of characters via NFTs, without forced participation
  • Optional Web3 layer that enhances — but doesn’t interrupt — the gaming experience

“We didn’t want to be another whitepaper project with no real game,” said the Vameon team. “We launched the game first, saw the results, and only then introduced tokenomics that made sense.”

📈 What This Means for GameFi in 2025

dEmpire of Vampire and $VON represent a broader industry pivot: quality over quantity. As less sustainable projects fade away, what remains are games built to entertain, not just extract value.

With a solid foundation, growing user base, and smart token design, Vameon is positioning itself as a flagship project in the rebirth of GameFi — where players come first, and tokens follow the product, not the pitch.

By

Cheyenne WY, 12th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, DuraFast Label Company has announced the release of free white resin ribbon samples for desktop thermal transfer printers, aimed at helping businesses explore specialty label printing solutions without upfront investment. This initiative is tailored for companies working with dark, textured, or transparent materials, where traditional black ribbons are ineffective or visually inconsistent.

With white resin ribbons becoming essential for high-contrast printing in industries such as electronics, automotive, cosmetics, and chemical labeling, DuraFast’s sample program makes it easier for businesses to test performance and compatibility with their existing setups. These ribbons offer a long-lasting print that resists abrasion, heat, chemicals, and moisture, ensuring labels remain legible and intact even in harsh environments.

Among them are the TR3370 High Opacity White Resin Ribbon and the R510W Durable White Resin Ribbon, both engineered to produce crisp white prints with long-term durability. Subtle variations, such as ink orientation, are also available—such as the Brother TD4 TR3370 High Opacity White Resin Ribbon with Ink OUT and the Brother TD4 R510W Durable White Resin Ribbon with Ink OUT—allowing customers to match ribbon types with the specific mechanics of their printer models.

The white resin ribbon samples will be available in limited quantities and are intended for evaluation use. Customers can request samples directly through DuraFast’s website, where the process has been made quick and accessible. The company anticipates high demand, especially from organizations using labels in compliance-heavy sectors or challenging environments.

“We’ve seen how essential proper ribbon selection can be for product labeling that not only looks sharp but also lasts,” the spokesperson added. “Whether it’s inventory tracking, packaging design, or regulatory marking, white resin ribbons can provide the clean visibility many industries need—especially when printing on dark or specialty substrates.”

Along with the ribbon samples, DuraFast Label Company provides extensive customer support, including print consultations and guidance on selecting the right ribbons, printers, and label types. This initiative aligns with DuraFast’s broader mission of helping businesses reduce printing errors, avoid mismatches, and enhance the efficiency of their labeling processes.

As companies continue to evolve their operations with automation and compliance in mind, DuraFast’s sample offering meets a timely need for accessible, high-performance printing supplies. The program is open to businesses across North America and will run while supplies last.

REALMAN.MEME Emerges as a Top Contender for Best Meme Presale of 2025

Published

3 hours ago

on

May 12, 2025

By

Tbilisi, Georgia, 12th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a crypto landscape flooded with copycat meme tokens and fleeting hype, one project is starting to stand out — not through promises, but through a well-designed ecosystem and real utility. REALMAN.MEME is a rising Web3 project that blends meme culture with a full-featured GameFi and community economy.

Currently in the midst of its REALMAN token presale, the project is already being recognized as one of the best meme presales of 2025 thanks to its innovative structure, long-term vision, and rapidly growing community.

Official website: https://realman.meme

What Is REALMAN.MEME?

REALMAN is more than just a meme — it’s a gamified Web3 ecosystem that turns token holders into players in a constantly evolving progression system.

The core components include:

  • REALMAN Token — the main asset tied to player level, hourly earnings, and ecosystem participation

  • REALMONEY — an internal currency earned every hour, based on your REALMAN level

  • LVL System — token holdings determine your level, which directly affects how much you earn per hour

  • Lootbox Slot System — a dynamic in-game mechanic where players can spend REALMONEY to earn gear, boosts, and special rewards

  • Mission System (in development) — a set of daily and seasonal challenges offering bonus rewards

  • REALMAN Academy (in development) — a learn-to-earn model where players can gain crypto knowledge and earn bonuses

  • End-of-Presale Drop — a planned token distribution event to reward early adopters based on their engagement and tier

REALMAN.MEME aims to bring depth and direction to the meme token space by merging humor with real economic mechanics and player incentives.

Lootboxes and Levels: GameFi Done Right

One of REALMAN’s most compelling features is the Lootbox Slot System, a gacha-inspired mechanic where players can use their REALMONEY to spin for rewards.

Each spin offers a chance to earn:

  • Boosters and passive income enhancers

  • Character upgrades and visual enhancements

  • Temporary in-game perks to accelerate progress

  • Rare and ultra-rare rewards (coming in future seasonal updates)

Lootboxes are not just cosmetic — they directly impact your earning potential, giving players more incentive to remain active and climb the leaderboards.

Meanwhile, your REALMAN level is at the core of your entire journey. It’s tied to your total token holdings and determines:

  • How much REALMONEY you earn every hour

  • Your standing in the ecosystem

  • Your ability to access future missions, events, and drops

This creates a clear and transparent growth path — one that rewards long-term engagement and active contribution.

What’s in Development?

REALMAN.MEME is not just relying on its current mechanics. Several forward-looking features are already in the pipeline:

REALMAN Academy

An upcoming platform where users can learn about crypto, complete educational quests, and earn REALMONEY rewards.

Mission System

A gamified layer of quests, challenges, and achievements to boost user engagement and reward activity.

Community Meta-Layers

Including guilds, clans, and public events where players can cooperate or compete for ecosystem dominance.

End-of-Presale Drop

At the conclusion of the presale, the team plans to reward early buyers with a bonus drop based on tier, level, and participation — creating an extra incentive to act early.

Why This Might Be the Best Meme Presale of 2025

REALMAN.MEME differentiates itself from the crowd by combining:

  •  A growing token economy that’s tied to progression

  •  Real GameFi logic that rewards consistent participation

  •  A clear incentive structure with hourly income and loot cycles

  •  Tier-based growth that drives large purchases and early action

  •  Active bonus systems like promo codes and lootboxes that keep the ecosystem dynamic

At the time of writing, the presale price is $0.0148, with the next phase increasing to $0.0162.
New users can also activate promo code REALMAN100, which provides:

  • +100% bonus on token purchases of $100 or more

  • +1,000,000 REALMONEY for immediate lootbox use

Participants can join the presale directly here:

Final Thoughts

REALMAN.MEME is positioning itself as a serious contender in a genre not known for its depth. By fusing meme appeal with a structured in-game economy and continuous development, the project creates a space where engagement is rewarded, and players are incentivized to think long-term.

If meme coins are about culture, then REALMAN is about building a culture with layers, tools, and goals. It’s already one of the most exciting projects in the presale phase, and it might just deliver on the promise of a meme token with real value.

With more updates on the way, REALMAN.MEME is definitely one to watch in 2025.
