Brenton Gieser is a film director originating from Half Moon Bay, California. As a first-generation, biracial Korean American, straddling space between identities, cultures, and class, Brenton aims is to craft stories that explore a nuanced yet grounded humanity through larger themes of inequity, healing, and the complexities of self.

He is the Co-Founder of LvL Films, a production company based in San Francisco focused on documentary, narrative films, and commercial content. 

His current project, The 50, is a feature-length documentary that unveils the story of the first 50 men to become California certified drug and alcohol counselors while serving either life or long-term prison sentences. His branded work includes collaborations with Adidas, Facebook, Turo, Numi Organic Tea, amongst others.
