Overview
The Center for Asian American Media is dedicated to presenting stories that convey the richness and diversity of Asian American experiences to the broadest audience possible. Its flagship program, CAAMFest (formerly the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival), is the nation’s largest showcase for new Asian American and Asian films, and reaches 25,000 people. The organization provides funding and support for Asian American film and media projects from independent producers, and partners with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to present Asian American works on public television. A renewal grant would help build CAAMFest’s expansion to the East and South Bay areas, and advance and diversify the media field.
