The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) and the nonprofit Sundance Institute have partnered for a third year of the Sundance Institute | The Asian American Foundation Fellowship, providing Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) artists working in film and television with professional development resources and opportunities to connect with peers and mentors. The initiative supports creatives at all stages of their career from emerging artists to more seasoned professionals with the goal of meaningfully increasing AANHPI representation in independent media.
Each year, the Fellowship program provides six AANHPI artists at critical junctures in their career with a year-long fellowship that focuses on advancing their creative and technical development. Fellows receive creative guidance, practical support, and a $20,000 unrestricted grant.
