First, congratulations once again to our AWE Champions: Gita Rebbapragada, COO at Crunchyroll, Maya Rogers, CEO at Tetris, and Michelle Sugihara, Executive Director at CAPE (Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment). And huge thanks to them all for sharing their stories and insights with us in a truly inspiring AWE Champions panel.  Video is coming soon – stay tuned!

Special thanks to the winners of the 2023 Julia S. Gouw Short Film Challenge, presented by CAPE and Janet Yang Productions, for joining us and sharing a sneak peek of your films. This inspiring program for Asian American and Pacific Islander women and non-binary filmmakers showcased its inaugural films and winners at our first AWE Luncheon in 2022, and we are happy to continue to shine a light on these artists and their accomplishments.
