<\/a><\/p>\nAsian American Women Media Makers is a working group founded by a few filmmakers in the spring of 2012. What started out as a monthly brunch for networking and support to tell our stories in media has expanded into an ongoing conversation to address the issues of underrepresentation and underemployment of our community in mainstream media, and to find ways to empower ourselves as content creators.
\nOur first public event is a conversation on Raising Money to Tell Our Stories. While the competition for funding is tough for most filmmakers, are there added challenges for Asian American women filmmakers? Do we tell stories that are perceived to have a small commercial market? Do we ask for money effectively? What are the unique challenges we face as a community? How can we successfully fund our projects when we don\u2019t know anyone in the business?<\/p>\n
