amazing experience. Palm Springs International Film Festival truly is about
celebrating, and to help guide new emerging filmmakers. All the panels from
industry guest were very enlightening and the guest speakers were very open to
telling us their personal knowledge of the industry. We received great
panel/master classes from Ted Hope, Top Film Festival Programmers, Industry
insiders, US Casting Society, and very good filmmakers. In addition to the
panels, many events, roundtables, parties, etc, were thrown everyday to allow
for networking and career building opportunities. This way we could have a
lecture panel formal discussion and then also have time to meet people in a
more relaxing setting. The chance to also watch so many great films has been
very inspiring and motivational to continue producing good work. We were also
very fortunate to receive two awards from the festival, and the awards have led
to future collaborations and grants towards our next project. Overall, the
festival was an amazing experience and the knowledge and opportunities gained
has been priceless.”

This was a really wonderful festival for Asian cinema as it really celebrated
works from different Asian filmmakers from all around the world. I also, liked how the festival did a wonderful job at
advertising the festival as many shows had a lot of audience. Overall the trip was very beneficial as I was able to screen my
film at two festivals during my time in LA. We screened at Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and screened at the Newport Beach
Film Festival. Through both events I continued to add to my fan base and also continued to build my network. In addition,
LAAPFF was a great experience as I was at a festival that really celebrated works made by Asian people. Therefore, I
felt that there is a place for Asian stories and Asian voices.
