Description

The Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) presents public stories that convey the richness and diversity of Asian American experiences by funding, producing, distributing and exhibiting works in film, television, and digital media. CAAM seeks Luce Foundation support for its multi-year Midwest Initiative, which aims to deepen public understanding of the lived experiences of Asian American communities of faith in the region, and to amplify a wider range of narratives about what it means to be Asian American. Our grant will support regional strategic meetings and convenings with Asian American religious community leaders, thought leaders, filmmakers, producers, and public media entities, while also providing direct support for local media makers. These efforts will build capacity for future media collaborations and inform CAAM’s developing strategy for the expansion of its engagement with diverse communities of faith in the Midwest.
