Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Film and Television

"A-Doc is a national network that works to increase the visibility and support of Asian Americans in the documentary field.

"ACV’s initial purpose was to produce Chinese language television programs, but a few years later—reflecting the growth of a collective Asian American identity and expanded needs for an Asian American media organization—the new mission became to produce and to exhibit films and video programs about the experience and culture of Asian and Asian American communities and to provide consultation and technical assistance for artists, cultural and media organizations."

"A nonprofit organization dedicated to presenting stories that convey the richness and diversity of Asian American experiences to the broadest audience possible."

Founded in 1969, the Asian American Studies Center has played a critical role in developing Southern California’s infrastructure of social service agencies, civil rights organizations, museums, historical societies, media and cultural groups, and business associations that serve and represent the Asian American and Pacific Islander population. The Center founded the UCLA Asian American Studies Department (the largest such department in the nation), established an outstanding research library, and published the country's leading research journal as well as hundreds of scholarly monographs.

"Visual Communications (VC) is the first non-profit organization in the US dedicated to the honest and accurate portrayals of the Asian Pacific American peoples, communities, and heritage through the media arts. VC was created with the understanding that media and the arts are important vehicles to organize and empower communities, build connections between peoples and generations through the development of AAPI film, video, and media. The organization has created award-winning productions, nurtured and given voice to our youth and seniors, promoted new artistic talent, presented new cinema, and preserved our visual history."
