Don't miss this! Recently we hosted the 2024 Asian Performer Showcase at the @TIFF_NET Lightbox, which featured a live discussion with ACTRA Toronto members @andrewphung (@KimsConvenience, @runtheburbs) and Jasmeet Raina (Late Bloomer), moderated by Deanna Wong (executive director, Toronto @reelasian International Film Festival), about how it’s up to all creators — writers, casting directors, producers, directors — to dissolve old tropes and cultivate Asian representation on screen.
We've posted the panel in full on ACTRA Toronto Performers Magazine – watch now: https://t.co/Q2BhAW8GiO
