Apollo Bakopoulos
Heart-centered, award-winning LGBTQ film director with a background in personal development and coaching. 

Hi, I’m Apollo Bakopoulos, an award-winning film director, producer, screenwriter, and a powerhouse mentor for highly driven creators, entrepreneurs, and filmmakers. I bring a unique fusion of storytelling and transformation, shaped by years of personal development coaching with world-renowned transformational 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.

 

Through my films, signature frameworks, and workshops, I help people—especially LGBTQ+ youth and creatives—live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives. My work is 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 still rare in mainstream media.

My mission is to empower the human spirit and show what becomes possible when we move beyond fear, connect with personal vision, and empower ourselves to thrive. I wish I had tools and stories while growing up that broke cycles of self-sabotage. Today, my work helps people remember their worth, their beauty, and their potential.

 

I look forward to collaborating and supporting YOU to expand your impact. Through film production, education, or transformational storytelling, let’s create something meaningful together!

We need more films that offer tools for empowerment and promote rich representations of intimate young male relationships in mainstream media.

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 was deeply inspiring, and his session was truly impactful—everyone loved it."
