Fred Gebhardt is a San Francisco-based filmmaker who was originally born in Germany and immigrated to the California Bay Area at the age of five.

Through making films, Fred hopes to use his creative vision to explore the various stories that make the world and its communities so alive, while also shining a light on issues that are close to his heart like mental health, social justice, and activism.

Since living in San Francisco, Fred has been heavily involved in community service around the city in his free time. He was sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and dubbed "Saint Reel 2 Real 4 Reals!" and continues to work with the group.
