Center for Asian American Media
About
CAAM Media Fund awards funding to film and media projects through our Open Call for Production Funds and the Open Door Completion Fund. Over the years we’ve funded a diverse array of projects such as Project Kashmir by Senain Kheshgi and Geeta Patel, Imelda by Ramona Diaz, and First Person Plural by Deann Borshay Liem. Finished projects reach a public television audience through our Public Broadcast department. Through our James T. Yee Fellowship program, Media Fund offers funding and mentorship for emerging and first-time filmmakers.
Filmmaker Support
Media Fund staff takes part in filmmaker outreach and support activities at events such as the annual IFP Market in New York and the Sundance Film Festival. In addition to hosting mixers for the local film community and receptions at film festivals, at our own SF International Asian American Film Festival we help coordinate panels on recent trends and issues in filmmaking.
In the past Media Fund staff has nominated filmmakers for programs such as the Disney-ABC Talent Development and the NATPE Fox Diversity Fellowship. Through our website, Media Fund also encourages filmmakers by offering a space for individuals to learn about new opportunities and projects as well as communicate with other filmmakers.
