Asian Americans continue to be a leading pioneer in the realm of digital content distribution methods. However, as the landscape of entertainment and media continuously fluctuates, the independent filmmaker needs to comprehend and identify the right path to sustaining a career. Now, more than ever before, independent content creators must fully immerse themselves within this burgeoning industry to find common ground and opportunities.
Sponsored in part by SAG-PIACF and the California Arts Council, C3 is a vital event to transcend Asian American engagement beyond the cultural, political, and commercial landscape of traditional media platforms by empowering the community in gaining valuable knowledge of the future and trends of all media.
With top-caliber events and speakers, C3 will shed light on the changing nature of entertainment media and allow larger audiences to connect with Asian American talent through a diverse array of panels, seminars and features approaching media platforms from all angles. Scheduled program panels include the following (Scroll down for the complete program line-up; download the printed program booklet here):
