Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor CAPE (Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment) and Janet Yang Productions today revealed the four grantees of the 2024 Julia S.

Gouw Short Film Challenge for Asian and Pacific Islander Women and Non-Binary Filmmakers. In its third consecutive year, the four filmmakers will each receive a $25,000 production grant to produce their short films.

Yang, who also serves as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said, “I love it when dreams become reality – I had a dream that I shared with Julia Gouw several years ago that I wanted to support emerging filmmakers who are AAPI and female or nonbinary, since we are still profoundly underrepresented.” She added, “With Julia’s support and in collaboration with CAPE, this dream has been realized.
