meet apollo bakopoulos
Leading filmmaker and mentor for highly driven creators, entrepreneurs and filmmakers.
Hi, I’m Apollo Bakopoulos, an award-winning film director, producer, screenwriter, and powerhouse mentor for highly driven creators, entrepreneurs, and filmmakers. I bring a unique fusion of storytelling and transformation, crafted through years of leadership in personal development with world-renowned coaches.
My first feature film, ALIGNED, was officially selected for its European premiere at the BFI Flare London LGBTQ+ Film Festival. In New York, it won several awards, including Best Producer at the Brooklyn Film Festival. It has been screened in 18 states across the US, Europe, and Australia.
I am rooted in a deep desire to spark conversations that uplift, heal, and align us with our heart’s deepest desires. Making movies is my passion and the path through which I express myself creatively. I’m especially devoted to creating emotionally rich, soul-nourishing representations of healthy intimate young male relationships—stories that are rare in mainstream media and that I lacked while growing up. Today, my work helps people remember their worth, beauty, and potential while instilling a sense of freedom and possibility that can reignite the capacity to dream. Through film, workshops, and structured mentoring approach, I help people live healthier, happier, fulfilling lives and support them to expand their creative pursuits.
I look forward to supporting YOU expanding your impact.
“Apollo’s film ALIGNED was both elegant and brave—a moving exploration of truth, intimacy, and self-discovery.”
Wesley Smoot
Founder and CEO of the UNLEASHED LGBTQ+ Conference & Festival.
"My mission is to inspire the human spirit—to help people transcend fear and self-doubt to lead empowered lives aligned with the heart’s deepest desires.
Apollo Bakopoulos
We need more films that offer tools for empowerment and promote rich representations of intimate young male relationships in mainstream media.
Apollo Bakopoulos
"We have come a long way, but there are still many powerful films that you wouldn't get to see easily in a cinema anywhere else. That is why we exist."
BRIAN ROBINSON
Programmer for the BFI Flare: London LGBTQ+ Film Festival & Former press officer for the British Film Institute (BFI).
Private Advisory
Apollo is committed to helping people break through fear to live empowered lives.
Today, ALIGNED is more than a film—it’s a message of self-love, courage, and the transformative power of aligning with your true self. Apollo has the extraordinary ability to support his audience in this delicate mission thanks to his unique knowledge as a filmmaker with compelling insights into human behavior and life strategy. As an inspirational speaker, and through empowerment conversations in educational and community settings, he fosters meaningful discussions that encourage exploration and alignment with personal vision.
“It was our honor to have Apollo as a keynote speaker at the 1st International mBIT Coaching Conference. His story of making the film was deeply inspiring, and his session was truly impactful—everyone loved it."
Reb Veale
