Wong Fu Productions, for example, has become something of an incubator of API talent, working with actors and musicians such as Randall Park, Simu Liu, and Far East Movement before they achieved mainstream success. More recently, creators such as Drew Afualo, Alan Chikin Chow, and Bella Poarch have made a name for themselves on YouTube and TikTok. According to our survey, more than 80 percent of respondents do not believe API experiences are widely represented in US-produced media. Founded by Bing Chen in 2017, Gold House is a non-profit collective of changemakers—founders, artists, and leaders—aimed at unifying the API community and championing greater representation and socioeconomic equity. Chen himself headed the night’s program, opening first with a moving speech of his own that concluded in an uproar of applause.

The film centers on a married couple whose lives begin to buckle under pressure when an actress arrives to do research for a movie about their past – including the couple’s notorious May-December tabloid romance that once gripped the nation. The property had previously been a popular Inland Empire spa resort called Gilman Hot Springs, which was established in the 1890s. However, the resort went bankrupt in the late 1970s due to changes in American vacation habits. Secretly bought for cash in 1978 by Scientology using the alias of the "Scottish Highland Quietude Club", it has since been developed and expanded considerably.

It is one of the most culturally and architecturally important homes in the area. Through new programs and platforms, Asian Pacific talent will gain super network access to world class cultural expertise and exposure while WME’s mentors will be the voices they may have wished for when they were just starting their careers,” said Gold House’s Christine Yi. Media representation and economic influence are becoming increasingly intertwined. Together, they have the power to reshape culture for AAPI communities while sustaining influence economically--and the key to sustainability is in the next generation of leaders. Over the past three years, Gold House created a model that strategically aligns the powers of media and business to generate an infrastructure that supports the future success of the AAPI community--and others. Given the changing nature of the industry, executives could also explore creative solutions to improve representation, such as analyzing the potential of ad sales through API content.

This potential broadening of the market for API consumers would help studios and streaming services as they find their way through a shifting consumer landscape. A Nielsen study found that streaming, including YouTube (see sidebar “Streaming and API inclusion”) has the greatest share of screen for API actors compared with broadcast and cable. Asian Americans allocate 27 percent more time to streaming than the general population—a signal that increased representation could be key to greater engagement. The industry could improve content for these consumers by creating films and shows featuring portrayals that are more authentic of the API experience.

We amplify our event-driven efforts via social media through our network of athletes and celebrities,” explains Spencer. Another one-of-a-kind feature of the bedroom is the closet which features a turnstile to allow Goldstein to easily view his wardrobe. This model has since driven several AAPI-led films to debut at the top of the box office, including “The Farewell,” “Parasite,” Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (which saw record-breaking numbers this past September) and “Eternals,” the first Marvel film led by a woman of color. To celebrate powerful portrayals of the community, Gold House created Gold Open, a platform to ensure the success of AAPI-led films opening weekend and, in effect, manufacture an AAPI film market alongside top AAPI creatives. A pivotal year for the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, 2021 began with a surge in racially motivated attacks across the country, fueling a movement that rallied communities to unite against anti-Asian hate.

Gold House Ventures describes its work as "market-first social impact." The fund is a for-profit initiative for its limited partners, but all general partner fees and returns will be donated back to the nonprofit. That’s why we power and propel Asian Pacific communities across every corner of culture. When someone breaks free of societal constraints to reach new heights, it’s not just people from our community who benefit. “Your leadership through legislative action will increase the likelihood that the administration does what is necessary to confiscate Putin’s billions,” wrote Chairman Garry Kasparov and CEO Uriel Epshtein. The REPO Act, which would authorize Biden to confiscate the frozen Russian assets in U.S. banks and transfer them to a special fund for Ukraine, is part of the foreign aid package that was stalled for months in the House.

Its individual investors include DoorDash CEO Tony Xu, Block CFO Amrita Ahuja and YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, along with celebrities like Anderson .Paak, Padma Lakshmi and Daniel Dae Kim.

Immigrating from China at the age of 5, Simu was raised in Mississauga, Ontario. After graduating from the Richard Ivey School of Business and working at a top accounting firm for nearly a year, Liu was laid off. Deciding to pursue work in film and television instead, he quickly landed roles on series such as Heroes Reborn (2015), Nikita (2010), Warehouse 13 (2009) and Air Crash Investigation (2003). The Gold List honors the most outstanding Asian Pacific achievements in the film industry each year. It was created to accelerate the fair inclusion of Asian Pacific creatives and projects in mainstream media and during the crucial awards season. Since its inception three years ago, 27 Gold List honorees have gone on to receive Academy Award wins or nominations, including last year’s historic wins for Everything Everywhere All At Once, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, “Naatu Naatu”, and The Elephant Whisperer.

In the start-up space, Asians made up about 25% of venture capital-backed founders, according to a 2020 report by Diversity VC and RateMyInvestor. That compares with APIs comprising about 6% of the U.S. population, according to Census Bureau data. The fund's investors include venture capital firms Lightspeed, NEA, Bain Capital and General Catalyst, along with philanthropies like the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
