If you’re Asian Pacific American, 30 or under, an emerging filmmaker, and live in LA, this is a program I would encourage you to check out! I was part of the ’05 program and it was awesome. Great peeps, great resources, and great networking.





Haha, me 4 years younger… with a really cheesy bio.

Here’s the piece I made through the program (most of you have probably seen it):

The official word from Visual Communications:

No comments

For all you college/grad students out there, here are two great opportunities from Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics (LEAP):

1) STEP UP!, the 2nd Annual Nissan Student Leadership Summit

Coming up on Saturday, March 7th! Featuring seven personal and organizational development workshops designed and facilitated by community leaders, this one-day conference will empower students to STEP UP! as leaders on campus, strengthen their organizations, and develop strong visions for the future. Come meet fellow student leaders from across California, learn new skills together, and organize for the years ahead!

2) Leadership in Action (LIA) Summer internship program

Interested in organizing for the community? Curious how life is like at a nonprofit job? Want to find all these things out while also developing your leadership skills and getting paid?

LIA is a paid eight-week summer internship that places interns at local, Asian and Pacific Islander (API), community-based organizations. Four days of the week, interns are placed in a range of API community-based organizations in order to gain real-life experience working at nonprofits. Every fifth day, interns come back to LEAP for leadership development workshops, panels, and dialogues with community leaders.

Program Date: June 22, 2009 – August 14, 2009
