Filmmaker GARY LEVA has distinguished himself as the creative force behind scores of films and television broadcasts.  His feature documentary, Fog City Mavericks, which highlights 100 years in the history of San Francisco’s vibrant filmmaking community, recently had its world premiere at the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival and can now be seen on the STARZ Network or DVD. 

As a producer, director and writer, Leva’s documentaries have tackled subjects as diverse as the history of the Free French in World War II, the Watergate-era mole known as Deep Throat, and the struggles of investigative journalists to stay relevant in an Internet-savvy world.  His award-winning A Legacy of Filmmakers, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, is now a part of the curriculum at several top universities. 

Other projects include his multi-award-winning feature film, Plan B, starring Jon Cryer, the hilarious mockumentary R2-D2: Beneath the Dome, broadcast nationally on Fox, and 1939: Hollywood’s Greatest Year, recently broadcast on TCM.  Leva also takes pride in his short films for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s annual Dinner of Champions. Recent efforts include the Spirit of Life Award to actress Teri Garr.
