Established in 2016, HBO Visionaries provides an unprecedented platform for emerging filmmakers to share their unique and diverse perspectives of the community. APAV serves to showcase cinematic storytellers of Asian and Pacific Islander descent awarding the top three winners the chance to have their work shown on HBO…and the cash prizes are the cherry on top. Their work will also be shown at the 2020 Los Angeles Asian Pacific FilmFestival.
Now in its fourth year, HBO is looking for works from storytellers that adhere to the theme of breaking barriers. “One of the most important ways that we lift each other up is by creating opportunity for one another – opportunity to share our intimate stories, opportunity to be seen and heard, opportunity to grow through one another,” said Lee.
“At HBO, we are proud to be one of the industry players leading the conversation around diversity in the media,” added Jackie Gagne, VP Multicultural Marketing at HBO. “Heading into the fourth year of the Visionaries competition, we are excited to continue creating a platform for emerging APA filmmakers to showcase their talents and share their unique stories with a global audience.”
