Dana Brunetti (born June 11, 1973) is an American film producer and social networking entrepreneur. He is the president of Kevin Spacey's production company, Trigger Street Productions. In 2016 he became the president of Relativity Media with Kevin Spacey taking on a chairman position.
Brunetti has been nominated for two Academy Awards for producing The Social Network and Captain Phillips.
Brunetti grew up in Covington, Virginia and attended secondary school at Alleghany High School. As a child, Brunetti delivered morning and evening editions of his local newspaper.
He joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 1992. During his enlistment, Brunetti moved to New York. He met actor Kevin Spacey through a chance introduction from a mutual friend while Brunetti was working at a start up digital wireless network company.
Shortly after that first introduction, Spacey hired Brunetti as his executive assistant. Brunetti worked with Spacey through several feature films, such as American Beauty (1999) and The Shipping News (2001).
In 2001, Brunetti transformed Spacey's Trigger Street Productions TriggerStreet.com, originally the static homepage for TriggerStreet Productions, into a website platform for young filmmakers. The site enabled users worldwide to submit screenplays and short films for feedback from other members. It was one of the first large scale projects of its type. The transformation embodied Spacey's philosophy to, "send the elevator down," for creative and talented artists simply needing a chance in Hollywood.TriggerStreet.com was relaunched in 2002 as an early social media site, hosting member profiles, providing member ratings of submitted work and interactive forums. TriggerStreet steadily gained users resulting in it being named one of the top 50 best websites of 2004 by Time Magazine.
The site is now known as TriggerStreet Labs expanding to include short story submissions.
