Short Film Retreat in Ojai

Cheers to a successful filmmakers retreat in Ojai for our finalists and semifinalists of the Julia S. Gouw Short Film Challenge for Asian American and Pacific Islander Women and Non-Binary Filmmakers!

Throughout the day, we had a line-up of guest speakers from across the industry speak with our cohort virtually and in-person including Diane Paragas, Xian Li, Kim Yutani, Anne Lai, Karen Chau, Janice Chua, PoPing AuYeung, Adam Taylor. Mirsada Abdool Raman, Sophia Yen, Nancy Lan and more!

Thanks again to our CAPE Team, Shay Fan, and Julia S. Gouw for making this all possible and thank you to Janet for opening her home. Best of luck to all the filmmakers.
