Asians on Film is an 501 (C)3 non-profit devoted to arts & entertainment with a primary focus in providing recognition to the talent of Asian/Pacific Islanders who are minorities in the film industry either as actors, actresses, writers, directors, producers, editors and/or those who work in other aspects of filmmaking. We are committed to promotion via news, information, interviews and recognition given by the festival.

Our Film Festival is an extension of our website www.AsiansOnFilm.com, our Facebook pages www.facebook.com/AsiansOnFilm, and our youtube page www.youtube.com/ErikSunProductions. With readership around the world we expect the marriage of the website and the festival will provide an amazing forum and recognition for great films.

Awards & Prizes

Semi-annual recognition and festival "best" awards in the categories of Drama, Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Thriller/Horror, Documentary, Art/Animation/Music, Action/Adventure, Comedy, Director, Ensemble Cast, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Script, Cinematography and Original Score.

Rules & Terms

For us the rules are simple. We want filmmakers to tell us where their film fits and diversity is encouraged in all aspects of filmmaking, story telling and how a story is told. Eligible films must have Asian/Pacific Islanders involved in some major aspect of a film project either producing, writing, directing, acting, cinematography or editing and in accordance with our mission and goals.

    Asians on Film was an extremely we'll organized and fun festival event. They have a very hip screening venue in the heart of Los Angeles. The festival programmers selected some really excellent films in a wide variety of genres. We had a great time meeting all the talented filmmakers and watching the selected films.

    the festival is pretty small and DOES NOT provide any assistance with either the flights or accommodation for filmmakers to attend the events. happy to have been included and very grateful to have won the best doc award there, however the organizers said they could not mail the award to me to New York because it's "too expensive." A little disappointed with where this festival is at its 9TH YEAR. the organizers seemed very happy with where they are tho and were pretty defensive to criticisms.

    I've had the fortune of screening here several times with different films and the festival team has been nothing short of professional, courteous and attentive. Most importantly they do a great job of providing a venue for Asian filmmakers to network and support each other's work so the Pan-Asian community grows as a whole. This effort alone deserves kudos and I hope to be back soon.

    The Asians on Film Festival gives opportunities to filmmakers, regardless of status, to showcase their work with a priority on the quality of writing and production over mere looks. It has a truly welcoming and friendly environment, with the opportunity to network with reputable names in the industry.
